Is it possible to autoplay three videos on my Webflow page using HTML embed code from Vimeo if the background video element is not working, or can I set them to play on hover like the sample video on this article?

Yes, it is possible to autoplay three videos on your Webflow page using HTML embed code from Vimeo. Since the background video element in Webflow may not support autoplay for multiple videos, you can use HTML embed elements to achieve this functionality.

To autoplay the videos using HTML embed code, you can follow these steps:

1. First, upload your videos to Vimeo and obtain the embed code for each video. You can find this option under the Share menu of each video on Vimeo.

2. In your Webflow project, select the page where you want to embed the videos.

3. Add an HTML embed element to your page by dragging and dropping it from the "Add" panel.

4. Double-click on the HTML embed element to open its settings.

5. Paste the Vimeo embed code of the first video into the HTML embed code editor.

6. Adjust the settings of the HTML embed element to control the size and position of the video on your page.

7. Repeat steps 3-6 to add the HTML embed elements for the other two videos.

8. Now, select the first HTML embed element and go to the Settings tab in the right-hand panel.

9. Under the Interactions section, select "Hover" from the "On Hover" dropdown menu.

10. In the "Hover In" action, select "Start" and choose the "Play" action from the dropdown menu.

11. Repeat steps 9-10 for the other two HTML embed elements.

By setting the interactions to "Play" on hover, the videos will start playing when the user hovers over them.

Please note that this approach assumes the Vimeo videos have autoplay enabled in their embed settings. Additionally, keep in mind that autoplaying videos can be disruptive and affect page performance, so make sure to provide a clear user experience and consider the impact on your website's loading times.
