Hi,
Tried to upload WEBM (not supported by Apple), mp4, ogg and mkv and none of them would display the video on iPhone. Any idea what codec to use to make it ALL compatibile? Thank you.

OK. Update. Codec doesn't seem to be an issue but auto play is. iOS doesn't do auto play. Any way to resolve this?
I can't say anything about iOS, but most browsers don't play videos with sound automatically, only if the user allows it in the browser settings.

@Daniel W. yes, they do :) That's what auto play is for.
Hello Tom,
is the same vido working with autoplay on other devices such as computers and Android smartphones?
Is an example of this currently online on a website of yours?
Thank you.

Hi, Works fine on Android and PCs. iOS = nope. You have to click the white area for player to appear.
There's an example now, I'll be taking it off tomorrow so you can have a look today. www.allfinance.expert.
Thank you.
Thank you, we will look into it.
Does the video have an audio track, even if is muted?

Nope. No audio.
(It > En) ...!... ... i(!) devices always have problems...!...
... by transferring the video to YouTube you could solve the compatibility problems since YT is an almost global platform, with bandwidth and flow advantages...

That's not the point here KolAsim. This is a home page. I wanted a nice animation. Putiing a link to YouTube would make it look awful and it defeats the purpose.
... to bypass the problem with the i(!) devices, I didn't mean the youtube link, but I meant to embed the youtube video...
... this could be done with the Video Object of the Program, or by pasting the IFRAME embed code produced by YT itself into an HTML Code Object...
