Muted inline autoplay is a request to the browser, not a guarantee, so the page must still work when playback does not start.

Use autoplay with muted and playsinline, add loop only when needed, provide a poster and fallback, and respect user motion and data preferences.

</video>

Why each attribute matters

autoplay asks the browser to begin playback.
muted is normally required for autoplay policy and prevents unexpected audio.
playsinline requests inline playback on compatible mobile browsers.
loop repeats playback and should be omitted when repetition is distracting or unnecessary.
poster provides a useful visual before playback and when playback is unavailable.
