Chrome Vimeo Iframe Autoplay Not Working Anymore

Answer :

Annotating the <iframe> with an allow attribute worked for me:

<iframe ... allow="autoplay; fullscreen"></iframe> 

It's called "Iframe delegation" and is described here: https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/09/autoplay-policy-changes.

You need to add &muted=1 to the iFrame src path and you need to add the attribute allow="autoplay" to the iFrame. Now the Vimeo video starts automatically again in Chrome.

yes, according to their documentation it is.

EDIT:

Advance browsers like FireFox, Chrome and Safari are now blocking video autoplay by default.

CHROME Auto-Play Policy:

https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/09/autoplay-policy-changes

The Media Engagement Index, or MEI for short, a way of Chrome is to allow AutoPlay audio on your page to be based on your previous interactions with this webpage as a user. You can see what this looks like by going to

chrome://media-engagement/

MEI is calculated per user profile, and is persisted to incognito mode.

FIREFOX Auto-Play Improvements:

NOTE: Don’t assume a media element will play, and don’t show the pause button from the start. Look at the Promise returned by the play function on HTMLMediaElement to see if it was rejected:

var promise = document.querySelector('video').play();  if (promise !== undefined) {     promise.catch(error => {         // Auto-play was prevented         // Show a UI element to let the user manually start playback     }).then(() => {         // Auto-play started     }); }
