I tried to see if any of the tips on that forum would work and none of them did. I am trying to get the autoplay to work/turn on and I couldn’t find any settings (like the forum suggested) that might have it turned off. None of the codes or settings I have found online and through help pages help in enabling autoplay.

I detest auto-play music and videos on blogs, almost as much as I detest advertising on blogs, but I’ll tag this thread for Staff assistance for you. Please be patient while waiting.

Yeah I’ve seen quite a few people saying that. I guess to each their own. But, thank you for your help! I really do appreciate it!!

We don’t allow users to set YouTube videos to autoplay. Autoplaying videos creates a poor reader experience and is not accessibility friendly.
Let me know if you have other questions.

Oh! I was unaware that this site didn’t support autoplaying! I had thought I’d seen something about it on a codex or forum of some sort, but it must’ve been something else! I apologize for the confusion! Thank you for your help though!!

Happy to help! Sorry I couldn’t make this work the way you wanted.
Let me know if there’s anything else I can help with!

There are some posts around lightbox and videos autoplaying is that something else?
Surprised WordPress are getting involved in the user experience. Surely that’s up to the site owner, as it doesn’t compromise security.

I’m not really sure what you mean, can you clarify what exactly you’re asking?
