Autoplay and embedded video

[jorge_padron]

So many posts but not one functional answer. I have a video uploaded into a Canvas course, I need the video to autoplay - Canvas support is not helpful at all so I'm led to believe that there is no solution. I was able to get a Youtube video to play using the &autoplay=1 coding, but that does not work for an embedded video. Does anyone have a solution, how is this not something available in 2022? Help me!

Hi, 

thank you for trying, but no that does not help. I'm specifically asking about videos uploaded and stored in Canvas not on Youtube or Vimeo.

I am also looking for a way to autoplay a Canvas Studio video.  The HTML is in a format that doesn't seem to allow the "autoplay" code.  I do see autoplay in the HTML, but there is no option in video to make it autoplay. The video i am lookin to replay is a Canva project i converted to a Studio video.  It will play when i click "play", but I want it to autoplay when the page loads.  This really is a question for any Canvas Studio video.  Here is the code below for reference:
