HTML5 Video Autoplay on Mobile Devices

Question

The question is not "Is it possible"? I know the mobile browsers can not autoplay html5 videos but, here i have an example of autoplaying.

Please explain to the world how is possible that!

Here the example: http://misc.teads.tv/us/demo/InReadWeltDemo2/index.html#232943677

And now? ;-)

Some research. Result: Its device dependent: Have a look at this older question: http://stackoverflow.com/a/12496184/4676259 Grtz — Tom, Nov 02 '15 at 14:54

You probably might have found this by now. But if not, then that video is triggered by the user's touch (window.touchStart) event. As soon as the user touches the screen to click/scroll, the video element's .play() is triggered.

You could try opening the url in any mobile-browser that does not support touch events to see that the video does not play until you click on it.
