Has anyone experienced issues with autoplay and looping on Webflow when adding a Vimeo video section?

Autoplay and looping issues can sometimes arise when adding a Vimeo video section in Webflow. While Webflow provides a seamless integration with Vimeo, there are a few factors that can impact the autoplay and looping functionality.

Firstly, it's essential to note that autoplay and looping behavior is dependent on the user's browser and device settings. Most modern web browsers have implemented autoplay restrictions, prioritizing user experience and privacy. For instance, Chrome only allows autoplay if certain conditions are met, such as if the video has no sound or if the user has previously interacted with the site.

To ensure the best chances of autoplay working, you can try the following:

1. Enable mute: By default, many browsers will allow autoplay if the video is muted. Make sure to check the "Autoplay" and "Muted" options in the Vimeo embed settings window within the Webflow designer.

2. Prior user interaction: Encourage users to interact with your site before playing the video. For example, you can have a play button on the video player or use interactions to trigger the video's play action.

3. Test on various devices and browsers: Different devices and browsers have varying autoplay policies. It's crucial to test your site across multiple platforms to see if autoplay and looping work as intended.

Regarding looping, Vimeo doesn't directly support this feature as a setting. However, you can achieve looping by adding custom code or using the Vimeo Player API. The API allows you to control the video playback programmatically and implement looping behavior.

Keep in mind that Vimeo Pro or Business account features may also affect the autoplay and looping functionality. For example, certain privacy settings or domain restrictions can impact how the video behaves.

If you have implemented the suggested steps and still face issues with autoplay or looping, I recommend reaching out to Webflow's support team for further assistance. They can investigate if there are any specific conflicts or provide additional guidance based on your setup.
