The code works well on Desktop but when I go and try to see this on my phone it won't automatically play. Is there a way to make it play on mobile too? Is there any kind of attribute or maybe even some javascript i could use to force it play when the DOM is loaded?
<style>
.video-background {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
height: 100vh;
overflow: hidden;
}
.video-background video {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
object-fit: cover;
z-index: -1;
}
.overlay {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
z-index: -1;
}
.caption-container {
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
text-align: center;
color: white;
z-index: 1;
}
</style>
This is my css and my html.
