Modern browsers often block videos from autoplaying with sound. HeySummit's Start Muted? option helps pre-recorded videos and custom streams autoplay more reliably by starting the video muted, then letting attendees unmute it once playback begins.
Use this together with the relevant autoplay setting when you want a video or stream to begin automatically. Autoplay can still depend on the attendee's browser, device, and the video provider, but starting muted gives the browser the best chance of allowing playback.
If you leave Start Muted? turned off, the video may wait for the attendee to press play, especially in browsers that block autoplay with sound.
