fancyBox v3.5.7 + Vimeo autoplay

[stephenmeehanuk]

Hi,

I'm using fancyBox v3.5.7 with both YouTube and Vimeo videos. The YouTube videos auto play in a modal with no additional configuration. The Vimeo videos won't autoplay unless I add &muted=1. The video plays, but it's muted.

Just wondering is there a workaround for this?

Is there something happening with fancyBox + YouTube, that's not being done with Vimeo?

Hi,

In case you missed it, "Chrome's autoplay policies changed in April of 2018", see https://developer.chrome.com/blog/autoplay/

So, the answer is - unfortunately nothing can be done here.

Thanks, I spotted that while looking for answers to this.

Just wondering how come YouTube embeds work with autoplay but Vimeo doesn't?

I'm displaying the video in a modal, that's activated on a mouse click. So the user is requesting the video to play.

Could you please try the latest version and see if it works better?
