How can I remove the 'Tap to Unmute' button that appears on top of autoplay videos on mobile in Webflow?

TL;DR
  • Ensure videos autoplay muted due to mobile browser restrictions.
  • Embed the video with services like YouTube or Vimeo, using properties like muted, autoplay, and loop.
  • Set the video container to autoplay and loop, verifying settings to eliminate the mute button prompt.

When autoplaying videos on mobile devices in Webflow, you may see a 'Tap to Unmute' button. To remove this button, consider these steps:

​

1. Use Muted Videos

  • Ensure your video is set to start muted when autoplaying on mobile devices. This is a common requirement due to mobile browser restrictions.

​

2. Embed Custom Video

  • Go to the Embed Element in Webflow.
  • Use a service like YouTube or Vimeo, and embed the video without sound.
  • Ensure the video properties include muted, autoplay, and loop (e.g., autoplay=1&mute=1&loop=1).

​

3. Adjust Video Container

  • Set the video container in Webflow to autoplay and loop.
  • Verify video settings to start the video without sound, eliminating the need for a mute button.

​

Summary

Ensure the video is set to autoplay with muted audio, particularly if you are embedding it from an external service. By setting these properties and adjusting video settings, you can remove the 'Tap to Unmute' prompt effectively.
