Video Background not working on mobile devices...

At a glance

The community member is having an issue with a video background on their mobile device, where only the thumbnail image is showing. The video works on desktop devices. The community member used a tutorial video to set up the video background. Some community members shared their published sites, but the video still does not autoplay on desktop or mobile devices. The issue seems to be related to Chrome's autoplay policy, which requires user interaction to start a video with sound.

please share your project and your published site
its not autoplaying for me on desktop either, does it for you?
I does autoplay on desktop devices when published only, but not on mobile phone devices either way
Update: in chrome you cant play any video with sound and autostart it. Not with vimeo, not with youtube or anything else.

User has to click to start the video
