Autoplay embedded videos

[tobiasgrf]

Hi,

I use embedded tweets in my website in a kind of gallery. I currently use

twttr.widgets.createVideo(
  '560070183650213889',
  document.getElementbyId('container')
);

to embed a video with the click of a button. However, the embedded video doesn’t autoplay and so the user has to click again to start the video. Is it possible to autoplay embedded videos or somehow start them via script?

Thanks,
Tobias

Hi there! We currently don’t have autoplay built into our video widget but you could always use something like this to click the play button when you load it:

document.getElementsByClassName(“Icon–playCircle”)[0].click()

Hope this helps,
Kat
