Why is autoplay not working in vimeo js api?

Question

JavaScript

I launch the video according to the official documentation , but the player ignores both player.play(); and autoplay: true in the config.

But, if you load another video via loadVideo() in the same player, then autoplay works.
Demo here: jsfiddle.net/b2eLc530/32

Maybe someone came across how to immediately start the video?

Answer 1

browser may disable autoplay

Answer 2

This is more of a Google question.
Perhaps meticulous developers will find workarounds.

Answer 3

The browser disables autoplay by default.
You can start.
From the beginning you need to mute the player.

player.setVolume(0);
player.play();

Unfortunately it won't work on iOS without user focus on the page.
