Hello

I would like to automatically play a 360 video on mobile without having the user tap the screen.

Thanks for advice!

Hi Ward,
Browser security will prevent the autoplay of media with sound.
If your video has no sound then it can auto-play without issue.

If you need sound then the current workaround is a splash screen to welcome the viewer, on close this is the button click/press required to start the video with sound. In this case, you would set the videos loop to -1, so it does not start on open, then the splash screen close button has the play video action as well.

Hello Hopki

Thanks for the reply!

Ont the properties tap of the video the loop field is disabled, how do I set it to -1 on start?

The play video action you are referring to, would that be:
Action: media
Type: play media
Loop: 0
Target: _videopanorama

Thanks
Ward
