When is appropriate to auto play music or video on a page?


We have a page with a demo video that we want users to watch but nobody is clicking play. Is it okay to automatically start the video when they hit the page or is that considered bad design?



Answer



As a general rule of thumb this is not usually a good idea. That being said, if the user is clicking on a link like, "The demo video explains how the missile knows where it is" then you could consider that to be the same as clicking play.
