Why Do Autoplay Videos Mute by Default?

Many users wonder if autoplay videos can start with sound. Here, we address this common question and provide guidance on how to manage autoplay settings effectively.

Autoplay videos often start without sound for several reasons:

  1. User Experience: Videos that play automatically with sound can be disruptive, especially in public or quiet environments. Muting by default ensures a more pleasant browsing experience.

  2. Browser Policies: Most web browsers have implemented policies that restrict autoplay with sound to prevent intrusive content. This means videos will only play with sound if the user interacts with the site (e.g., clicking or tapping).

  3. Accessibility: Muted autoplay videos can be more accessible, allowing users to decide when and where to listen to audio.

How can we avoid this affecting Dynamic Videos?

If you are a Dynamic Videos user and decided to include the AI Voice Cloning feature in your videos, Autoplay can be turned off so that your leads don't lose the personalization.

Here's how to do it:

  1. Scroll down

  2. Switch the "Autoplay Videos" toggle to "Off"
