Video Will Not Autoplay On Chrome When It Is Inserted Into The Dom August 21, 2024 Post a Comment I have a video (meant for background purposes), that is muted and I intend to auto-play. If I were to put the following code into an html file: Solution 1: This is probably a bug (and not the only one with this autoplay policy...).When you set the muted attribute through Element.setAttribute(), the policy is not unleashed like it should be.To workaround that, set the IDL attribute through the Element's property:functionrender() { const video = document.createElement('video'); video.muted = true; video.autoplay = true; video.loop = true; video.setAttribute('playsinline', true); const source = document.createElement('source'); source.setAttribute('src', 'https://res.cloudinary.com/dthskrjhy/video/upload/v1545324364/ASR/Typenex_Dandelion_Break_-_Fade_To_Black.mp4'); video.appendChild(source); document.body.appendChild(video); } render(); CopyAs a fiddle since StackSnippets requiring a click event form the parent page are anyway always allowed to autoplay ;-).Solution 2: Async, Await, & IIFEAfter finding this article a couple of months ago, I still couldn't get a consistent autoplay behavior, muted or otherwise. So the only thing I hadn't tried is packing the async function in an IIFE (Immediately Invoked Function Expression).In the demo:It is dynamically inserted into the DOM with .insertAdjacentHTML()It should autoplayIt should be unmutedAll of the above should happen without user interaction.Demovar clip = document.getElementById('clip'); (function() { playMedia(); })(); asyncfunctionplayMedia() { try { awaitstamp(); await clip.play(); } catch (err) { } } functionstamp() { document.body.insertAdjacentHTML('beforeend', `<video id='clip' poster='https://image.ibb.co/iD44vf/e2517.jpg' src='https://storage04.dropshots.com/photos8000/photos/1381926/20181019/182332.mp4' width='100%' autoplay loop playsinline></video>`); }Copy Share Post a Comment for "Video Will Not Autoplay On Chrome When It Is Inserted Into The Dom"
