How to disable auto-play for local video in iframe - html

Question

How to disable auto-play for video when src is from my local pc?
<iframe width="465" height="315" src="videos/example.mp4"></iframe>
I have tried the following, but it doesn't work:
src="videos/example.mp4?autoplay=0"
src="videos/example.mp4?autoplay=false"
src="videos/example.mp4?autostart=0"
src="videos/example.mp4?autostart=false"

Answer 1

If you are using HTML5, using the Video tag is suitable for this purpose.
You can use the Video Tag this way for no autoplay:
<video width="320" height="240" controls>
<source src="videos/example.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>
To enable auto-play,
<video width="320" height="240" controls autoplay>
<source src="videos/example.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>

if you still need to use an iframe, add a sandbox

Replace the iframe for this:
<video class="video-fluid z-depth-1" loop controls muted>
<source src="videos/example.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
</video>

Answer 5

What do you think about video tag ? If you don't have to use iframe tag you can use video tag instead.
<video width="500" height="345" src="hey.mp4" />
You should not use autoplay attribute in your video tag to disable autoplay.

Answer 7

Just replace
<iframe width="465" height="315" src="videos/example.mp4"></iframe>
by
<video src="videos/example.mp4" controls></video>
Here is an example using bootstrap 4:
<div class="embed-responsive embed-responsive-4by3">
<video src="videos/example.mp4" controls></video>
</div>

Answer 8

Try it.
src="videos/example.mp4?autoplay=1"

Answer 9

If you are using iFrame tag, remove the autoplay form the autoplay from allow property
<iframe
title=""
class="rounded-2xl w-full"
height="370"
src="Demo.mp4"
allow="accelerometer; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture"
allowfullscreen
></iframe>

Answer 10

You can set the source of the player as blank string on loading the page, in this way you don't have to switch to video tag.
var player = document.getElementById("video-player");
player.src = "";
When you want to play a video, just change its src attribute, for example:
function play(source){
player.src = source;
}

Answer 11

I've tried all the possible solutions but nothing worked for local video bindings. I believe best solution would be to fix using jQuery if you still wants to use iframes.
$(document).ready(function () {
var ownVideos = $("iframe");
$.each(ownVideos, function (i, video) {
var frameContent = $(video).contents().find('body').html();
if (frameContent) {
$(video).contents().find('body').html(frameContent.replace("autoplay", ""));
}
});
});
Note: It'll find all the iframes on document ready and loop through each iframe contents and replace/remove autoplay attribute. This solution can be use anywhere in your project. If you would like to do for specific element then use the code under $.each function and replace $(video) with your iframe element id like $("#myIFrameId").

<iframe width="420" height="315"
src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/aNOgO7aNslo?rel=0">
</iframe>
You're supposed to put the characters ?rel=0 after the YouTube video unique link and before the quotations. it worked for me
