No Audio on Video, and video off center

I have created a home page video that loads and plays with no problem, but there is no sound.  Also, when my site is set up in a boxed format (which I would prefer) the video is off centered in the frame and doesn't look good like this.  I would also like to be able to have the video frame smaller, is that at all possible?  Could anyone help me with these issues regarding the video audio and frame?

    Hello,
    please send us a link, we have no idea how are you displaying this video.
    If you are using automatic playback of the video in the background or in an iframe then the sound will be muted by the browser itself. We cannot do anything about that.
    thanks

    Yeah, I want it to autoplay when the site is loaded.  The only way I have found to do that is to use the Video container, or use the Revolution slider.  Neither of which I can get to display the way I want them to, but will autoplay with sound.  I don't know if you can help me with a work around for any of this.  
    The video container doesn't seem to be able to be formatted to fit the space very well, and the slider I have not completely got figured out yet.  I am playing with things trying to get it right.

    Here is a link to view.  http://new.focalpointok.com/

    I want to achieve the look of the background video with the functionality of the video player if possible.  This may look different when you get to the link because I am testing some stuff.

    Thanks very much Bryan.  I appreciate your help with this.

    Unfortunately, it's not possible to autoplay the video with sound.
    The autoplay function is disabled on most of the modern browsers these days. You can only autoplay videos without sound.
    This is blocked by the browser and we cannot help you with this issue.
    More information about the recent changes here:

    Of course, if you want to display the video without sound(autoplay), then it's possible using the section background video in BeTheme, but it won't gonna work on mobile (it's disabled by default in our theme), that's why we suggest to use the Revolution Slider instead.

    Thanks

    Ok, so how then can I get the video formatted to fill the space correctly where the video would display and I will use that method.  I can't ever get it to display correctly and it looks out of place.

    Just create the Revolution Slider with video on background (https://www.themepunch.com/revslider-doc/video-layers/) and then, to display it, please apply it to "Slider | Revoltuion Slider" tab while editing the page.
    See screen:
    Thanks

    Ok awesome!  I have the video showing and it looks a whole lot better and there is sound.  Thanks so much!  
    One problem I am having though, is that the slider will not proceed to the next slide... Is there something I am missing here?  I have it set to go to the next slide after the video plays, but it is not working... just goes to black screen where I can play the video again.

    Did you turn on the "Next Slide on End" option?

    Thanks
