Why videos won't autoplay on mobile devices

"Autoplay was disabled in previous versions of Chrome on Android because it can be disruptive, data-hungry and many users don't like it."

This change from Chrome has also been adapted in other mobile browsers, so we are not able to have our video content autoplay by default on mobile devices (our videos should autoplay just fine on all desktop browsers).

Though, most browsers on Android do have a built-in setting that allows you to change this functionality yourself. iOS browsers do not have this functionality available, so unfortunately there's nothing you can do at this time in your browser to enable this. The biggest warning with these updates is that it changes settings for any website you access through your browser - not just for blackspectacles.com.
