Is it possible to autoplay three videos on my Webflow page using HTML embed code from Vimeo if the background video element is not working, or can I set them to play on hover like the sample video on this article?

TL;DR
  • Use Vimeo's embed code with parameters autoplay=1&muted=1 in an HTML embed in Webflow for autoplay functionality.
  • For play on hover, integrate Vimeo's Player API and write custom JavaScript to control video playback.

To autoplay or play videos on hover using Vimeo on your Webflow page, an HTML embed can be used. Here's how you can achieve this:

​

1. Autoplay Videos via HTML Embed

  • Vimeo Autoplay Embed: To autoplay a Vimeo video using an HTML embed, you need to use Vimeo’s embed code and modify it.
  • Code Parameters: Add the autoplay=1 to the video's URL within the iframe embed code.

​

2. HTML Embed Steps

  • Go to Vimeo: Find the Vimeo video you wish to embed.
  • Get Embed Code: Click the Share button, and copy the embed code.
  • Modify Parameters: Within the iframe embed code, modify the video URL to include parameters like autoplay=1&muted=1 since videos with sound cannot autoplay without being muted.

​

3. Embed in Webflow

  • Add Embed Element: In your Webflow project, add an HTML Embed element to the desired page.
  • Insert Code: Paste your modified Vimeo embed code inside the embed element.

​

4. Play on Hover (Javascript Needed)

  • Vimeo API: For hover functionality, you will need to use Vimeo's Player API and custom JavaScript.
  • Hover Script: Write a script that listens for hover events to play/pause videos using the play() and pause() methods available in Vimeo's Player API.

​

Summary

To autoplay Vimeo videos on a Webflow page, use the embed code with autoplay=1&muted=1. For hover play, you must incorporate Vimeo’s Player API and custom JavaScript. Always ensure videos are muted for autoplay, as browsers generally restrict videos with sound from autoplaying.
