Question
Is it possible to autoplay videos on android and IOS devices? I’m actually using these parameters src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/${vimeoId}?autoplay=1&loop=1&autopause=0&muted=1&background=1&playsinline=1`"and I also tried to trigger the play on load with the playerplayer.play()`. Thanks for your help!

It is also worth noting that Autoplay does not work on iPhones in power save mode or Androids in data save mode so that may be part of your problem.
