Autoplay video on a CMS collection page

I haven’t been able to find a way to place an autoplay video on a CMS collection page. I’m building a portfolio and for each project page I have 1 - 3 videos that I want to autoplay, displayed without controls.

Is it possible to have an autoplay video on a CMS collection page (different video on each page of course)?

Cheers,
Joshua

If you use custom code to display the video and it is muted, then yes,

Can you explain more how to use custom code?

Thank you

Hi all,

I‘m also having trouble with this.

I’ve followed a few examples for auto play without controls in a collection page, but it’s been a nightmare. Webflow should provide a simpler way for this.

Help on how to do this would be very much appreciated.

Thank you

Every video hosting platform e.g. youtube, wistia, loom, has their own player, and their own player API for configuring and controlling it. The easiest way to control this is to pick one, like YouTube, and then use an HTML embed to display the video using YouTube’s embed code.

The YouTube docs have details on how to modify that embed code for e.g. autoplay and muting.

I fund a good solution for this by Emil Villumsen.

I hope this helps everyone.

Hey there!
If you add “?autoplay=1” to your YouTube link, your video will automatically play.
