Vimeo Video - Doesn't play on mobile on page refresh
Hi,
We have a video on this home page: https://tbdhcadprod.wpenginepowered.com/
When you open it in safari on mobile device the home page video only plays the first time you visit the site not on page refresh or clicking on another page and coming back to the home page. If you leave the site and come back it works.
Do you know why?

Hi,
Please try to activate the playsinline parameter for the video:

Videos on iOS require this parameter to autoplay videos on mobile.
Best regards
This is setup as a background video on a slide, I'm not using the video layer and I have the playsinline=1 attribute added. Will that not work?
It should work.
Please send us the WordPress dashboard access privately through the contact form, which is on the right side at https://themeforest.net/user/muffingroup#contact and we will check what might be the reason.

Please check the following page on mobile: https://tbdhcadprod.wpenginepowered.com/mfn-test/.
Let me know if the video placed in the slider on that page works every time.
Best regards
Yes, it does but we need the overlay on the video as well. What is different besides that for this test page?
There has to be some setting in your slider that you selected, and it prevents autoplay on iOS.
I went through all the settings but could not find anything that could be the culprit. The only thing I can recommend is to switch your video to YT or a self-hosted HTML5 video as a background (which, as I tested, seems to work properly) or recreate your slider from scratch (you can base it on the "test" slider I created).
Best regards
