video autoplay on AMP #32631

Open SIbu1981 opened 3 years ago

hi we use amp-video-iframe to serve our customized jw player in our article pages. Starting from this use case are there any chance to build video autoplay and sticky on our pages?

I have a look to some implementation in the our market and someone reached the objective but using the amp player component like https://amp.dev/documentation/components/amp-brightcove/) not the amp-video-iframe.

Thanks Silvio

I've added @alanorozco to the issue, but autoplay requires ensuring the content is muted by default. I do not recall all of the details, but Alan can give a more in-depth answer to this question.

alanorozco commented 3 years ago

autoplay works if you use amp-video-iframe. As long as you follow the instructions to implement mute(), it should work just fine.
By sticky, do you mean allowing the video to stick to an edge of the viewport? If so, using amp-video-iframe in conjunction with amp-video-docking should enable that behavior.

Hi believe @SIbu1981 point was on how Docking is possible with amp-video-iframe.

amp-video-docking allows docking only if the video has not autoplay but it seems like other AMP certified players allow this behaviour.

amp-video-docking allows docking only if the video has not autoplay but it seems like other AMP certified players allow this behaviour.

This is incorrect. amp-video-iframe works just fine with dock, here's an example.

What you may be experiencing is that autoplaying videos cannot be docked. Videos with autoplay need to be interacted with (clicked) before they can be docked, which is intentional.

Thanks Alan, sorry I meant to say the same, the limitation is expected on amp-video-iframe + amp-video-docking but other combo with amp-video-docking with other players are indeed allowing docking without user interaction with a video in autoplay.

@gilbertococchi One player seems to get around this limitation somehow, which it should not. Tracking separately #32706
