<video width="100%" playsinline preload="metadata" style="object-fit: cover;height:100%" muted="true" autoplay="true">

On a Shopify site, I have a section with Video Background without audio (also muted). playsinline attribute was added.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
I am trying to figure out why the video is not autoplaying in IOS devices?
<div class="video-container">
<video id="intro-video" video-src="https://www.w3schools.com/html/mov_bbb.mp4" poster="" playsinline autoplay muted loop>
<source video-src="https://www.w3schools.com/html/mov_bbb.mp4" video-width="1600" playsinline autoplay muted loop>
<source video-src="https://www.w3schools.com/html/mov_bbb.mp4" video-width="900" playsinline autoplay muted loop>
<source video-src="https://www.w3schools.com/html/mov_bbb.mp4" video-width="480" playsinline autoplay muted loop>
</video>
Playsinline is already added as described in the IOS video documentation
webkit-playsinline is not added
Most modern web-browsers don't allow to auto-play audio and video if there is no interaction from the user, as a click on the webpage.
<video autoplay playsinline loop class="desktop">
<source src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0550/6236/4360/files/ARCHIVE.mp4?v=1614799234" type="video/mp4">
</video>
I have an issue that the video won't automatically play at firefox and safari on mobile. I have no idea and I'm out of ideas why the behaviour is just on mobile and not on browser.
This works fine on Chrome, but not on Safari.
<video id="video" class="video" preload="metadata" autoplay="" loop="" muted="" >
<source src="images/video.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>
The mp4 video's Codecs is H.264.
To play this video, I had to convert this mp4 to HEVC. Voila, this solved it!
<video id="video" class="video" preload="metadata" autoplay="" loop="" muted="" >
<!-- for safari - HEVC -->
<source src="images/video.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<!-- for chrome - H264 -->
<source src="images/video.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>
I added a couple of more lines of code because this background video wasn't playing on mobile(iphone chrome and safari)
<video id="video" class="video" preload="metadata" autoplay muted loop playsinline>
<!-- below is for safari - HEVC format -->
<source src="images/home-video.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<!-- for google - H264 format -->
<source src="images/hero-video.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<!-- for mobile -->
<source src="images/hero-video.webm" type="video/webm">
<source src="images/hero-video.ogg" type="video/ogg">
</video>
Now I'm having an issue with this video not playing on Android(Chrome).. smh
A nice and simple hack is to simply duplicate the file and make use of the .m4v extension at the end instead of .mp4 and use content type video/x-m4v instead of video/mp4.
example:
<video preload="metadata" autoplay="" loop="" muted="" >
<!-- for safari or iOS or anything Apple -->
<source src="images/video.m4v" type="video/x-m4v">
<!-- for chrome, firefox, android and remainig friends -->
<source src="images/video.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>
