Modern browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox) only autoplay videos that are also muted. Our generator handles this automatically: when you toggle autoplay, mute=1 is auto-added to the embed URL so autoplay actually works in production browsers.
When to use this
Use for: hero-section videos on landing pages, background-video site headers, looping product-showcase videos, attention-grabbing video walls in marketing pages.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does autoplay require mute?
Browser autoplay policies (Chrome 2018+, Safari, Firefox) require user interaction OR muted state to autoplay video with sound. Muted autoplay always works; sound requires user gesture. The generator enforces muted+autoplay together to ensure your embed works in production.
