Enable Autoplay: Turn on / off the autoplay feature. Please keep in mind that the autoplay function might not work in case: - If the user configured his browser to prevent that action or parameter “Mute Video” from being turned off. - If the users use the iPhone with Low Power Mode and access your website by Safari browser, the Enable Autoplay feature will be not activated.
Mute Video: Turn on / off the video’s sound.
Content loading: Choose the loading type for videos in the live preview. There are 2 options: - Lazy loading: Videos load only when they enter the user's viewport, reducing initial page load time and conserving bandwidth. - Standard: Videos load immediately, which may provide a smoother experience for users with fast internet connections.
Custom Start And End Time - Start at: Customize your YouTube video start time. - End at: Customize your YouTube video end time.
Avoid utilizing the HTML Video element or embedding YouTube code directly, as it may compromise responsiveness on mobile and tablet devices. Embedded code often imposes fixed width dimensions, leading to layout distortions on various screen sizes.
Additionally, note that AutoPlay functionality is contingent upon enabling the Mute feature, as per YouTube's updated API. However, AutoPlay won't function on tablet or mobile devices due to default restrictions imposed by mobile operating systems.
