Topic: Video Carousel Not Autoplaying in Chrome

michaelkchen free asked 5 years ago

Hello, For my angular site I am using the angular version of mdbootstrap. The video carousel does not autoplay in chrome but works in other browsers. Initially it does not play but if I switch to another section on my site and switch back it will then start to play. The site is michaelkchen.com

After doing some more research I found the answer. Chrome blocks autoplay unless the video is muted. The normal 'muted' attribute was not working with my project so by using     [muted]="true"    in place of just the 'muted' attribute it mutes the video and is able to autoplay in Chrome.

It looks like it is browser related issue. For me adding muted attribute solved the problem, but I see you have already done that. Please add 'muted' to example from our docs and let me know if that worked. Also please check if there are any errors in your console. https://mdbootstrap.com/angular/advanced/carousel/#video

I added the example to my project and tested it with the 'muted' attribute. The same issue happens, maybe it is something in my project that is affecting it. Is it possible that the 'muted' attribute is not going through? There are also no errors in my console.

Dear michaelkchen, Which version of chrome and MDB do you use? I just checked one of our example in chrome and it seems to be working correctly. Please paste here the code associated with our carousel component. Best, Arek
