Fix autoplay video not working in Elementor

When you are facing the autoplay issue the first thing you need to do is to disable the image overlay option. Image overlay will add a custom thumbnail for your video. The overlay image will override the video autoplay option. If the autoplay option is enabled the autoplay will not work.

If the problem is not solved then you need to mute the video. Some web browsers like Google Chrome will not autoplay the video if the video is not muted. So you need to mute the video first. If the video has no sound you need to enable the mute option too.

This will solve your problem. Every browser has its own autoplay policy. So you can read the autoplay policy if autoplay is not working in a certain browser.

You can also use addons to fix the autoplay problem. There are many Elemeontor addons available that offer the video widget with autoplay features.
