troubleshooting Question
Using HTML5 video on a React App in such a way that it will work on all Mobile platforms (iOS, Android, MS etc.), esp, making the auto start working at page load.
I'm trying to use HTML5 video in my React App the following way:
But this will not auto start when the page loads the first time. But when I visit another page and come back to the home page, the video works. Any idea what's happening? Any suggestions to make it work properly and esp on mobile devices will be appreciated.
<Section gridStart="1366px" bgColor="gradient" type="flex">
<Block flexBasis="70">
<video width="100%" autoPlay loop>
<source src="/videos/ai-vid.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
</video>
</Block>
<Block flexBasis="30">
