Mindstamp help guide
Can I make my Mindstamp video autoplay?
Understand when an embedded Mindstamp video can autoplay and why browsers may still require a viewer gesture or muted playback.
Short answer
Autoplay depends on both the Mindstamp embed settings and the viewer’s browser. Modern browsers commonly block autoplay with sound and may require muted playback or a prior user gesture, so the reliable experience should still work when the viewer must press Play.
How to do it
- Check the video or embed Share settings for the current autoplay option.
- If autoplay is essential, design the opening so it still makes sense muted.
- Test in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, iOS, and Android without relying on an existing browser session.
- Keep a visible Play control and never make an interaction depend on autoplay succeeding.
Autoplay is a browser decision too
A setting can request autoplay but cannot override user preferences, power-saving behavior, data-saving behavior, or browser media policies. Treat autoplay as an enhancement, not a guaranteed entry state.
Protect performance and accessibility
An above-the-fold muted preview can be useful. Several autoplaying embeds increase network and motion costs, and any moving content needs a clear way to pause.
