Description

I want to autoPlay video using MuxPlayer react.

Expected Behavior

Currently, I'm not able to autoplay video without muting using mux player react. I know it is not recommended to autoplay without muting. but according to my business model, I need to autoplay the video without muting it like youtube playing their video.

I'm looking for a suitable solution for my use case. Please also provide any code snippets if you have any.

Thank you.

Autoplay nowadays is pretty tricky and may not be allowed to happen unless muted. Though, it depends on the browser settings for a particular user.
In Mux Player, we have extended the regular autoplay property to allow for easier configuration of autoplay. For example, with autoplay="any", it'll try to autoplay unmuted and if the player cannot autoplay, it'll mute the player and try again.

Unfortunately, there is no way to force autoplay with sound.

HI, one more issue I'm facing that is PIP is not only playing on the current video page and it stops playing on other screens. can you please guide me on how to fix that issue?

could you explain a bit more? on my end the video stays playing in PiP when I visit a new page
for example https://stream.new/v/fn7wPG6b3kSygzUw4GNXLmauDcKIT1G02

In your example, https://stream.new/v/fn7wPG6b3kSygzUw4GNXLmauDcKIT1G02 video in PIP mode also stopped when I visit a new page. for when I visit the Terms page. All I want is to keep the video playing in PIP mode when I visit any new page

It's causing issues on all browsers. I tested it on Chrome and Safari as well. I'm using Macbook Pro M1 macOS Montery.
