    Just found your lovely plugin and you have made me and my client very happy. When you decide to charge, I will likely be a buyer. Do you think that will be soon? If not, I will make a donation. Thank you for all your hard work.

    In the meantime, I’m wondering if there is some additional coding I can add to enable autoplay on a mobile device. There are 6 videos total on my client’s site, and only one that I need autoplay on (home page). The overall autoplay setting is not enabled, so I have added autoplay=”true” to the one video I want to autoplay. Works fine on the computer monitor, but does not on a smart phone. Is there some additional code I can add that will make it play on a cell phone?

    Proofing URL (with the autoplay video) is: http://judithleslie.com/hewitt-proof/

    Thank you very much.

    IOS and Android browsers don’t autoplay because it uses large amounts of mobile data that the user didn’t initiate. You’d have to write some JavaScript to force the video to play. It’s not something I’m inclined to implement myself because I think it’s disabled for good reasons.

    I just moved to a new apartment and we’re having a baby any day now so my support will not be very speedy for a little while.
