I have created an H5P interactive video. Currently, viewers need to click a link and then click the "interactive video" button to start watching, which is quite inconvenient. Is there a way to make the video start playing automatically when people click the link, without requiring them to click the "interactive video" button?

Hi wangxiaoyong1975,

I believe I answered this in your other post: https://h5p.org/node/1520984

"There is an option to enable "Auto-play video" under "Behavioural settings" so that videos will auto-play. However, this is not 100% reliable because of browser security features. Most if not all new browser versions does not allow auto play unless you have already interacted with the page. This is a feature they added to address video advertisements on websites."
