Wix Pro Gallery: Customizing Video Settings

• Muted autoplay is always allowed.

• Autoplay with sound is allowed if:

  • The site visitor has interacted with the domain (via click, tap, etc.).

  • On desktop, the site visitor's Media Engagement Index threshold has been crossed, meaning the visitor has previously played video with sound.

  • The visitor has added the site to their home screen on mobile or installed the PWA (progressive web app) on desktop.

• Top frames can delegate autoplay permission to their iFrames to allow autoplay with sound.

The following browsers no longer support autoplay:

• Safari 11 and older versions

• Chrome 61 and older versions

• Firefox 66 and older versions

• Edge 92 and older versions

Note: To autoplay elements, your site visitors need to change the settings in their own browsers. Please refer to Safari, Chrome, Microsoft and Firefox support for more information.

You may find that your music and videos do not play automatically on iPhones, Androids and tablets. This is because Apple and Chrome block the autoplay function to prevent additional data charges from the visitor's cellphone network. No data is loaded until the user taps the play button on the audio or video player.

Autoplay functions are also disabled if the visitor has enabled low-power mode on their iOS device.

For more information, please see Apple's Safari Developer Library and Google's Developers guidelines.

Note: For mobile or tablet devices, we recommend setting your Play videos preference (Step 4) to On hover, or On click.
