Background Settings

• Auto Play:
  Automatically play the media.

  Auto-Play has change in WebKit browsers such as Safari 11 and the new Chrome since 2018. Videos and audio media will not play automatically unless they are muted by default. This setting can also be changed on the browser by the user to not play any media at all or allow to play all media. The default is to allow only media that is muted. Anything else will need user interaction to play or hear the sound. So depending on the user’s browser settings the auto-play feature may not work at all. You can read a little more at the WebKit website.
  
  Full Page Background Slideshow detects when a browser has these settings on and will mute the video before playback so it can auto-play muted. If the user’s browser is set to not play media files at all then Full Page Background Slideshow will simply not start playback until the user clicks the play button. What else can you do? Well, you can also set your backgrounds to not auto-play or mute them to ensure they will play although without sound until the user clicks on the mute button.
