Youtube video in Revolution Slider does not autoplay in mobile device

[alexplex86]

Hello! I’m using a Youtube video background in revolution slider with autoplay. It works as intended on desktops but on mobile devices the video will not autoplay. It just shows the youtube play button and when I tap it the video still won’t play. Any suggestions?

Hi,

Check the slider settings for this kind of options check all panels

Anyway i think it’s a good idea to have video slider turned off on mobile for performance and also for the bandwidth consumption

The buttons where disabled in my backend. However, after googling a bit, it seems that youtube has disabled autoplay on mobile devices because of bandwidth consumption as you say. Can you confirm if this is really is true?

In that case I just have to make an alternative slide for mobile devices.
