enable autoplay as an option
It would be nice if our the video embedded on a webpage started playing immediately. Making the user start the video does not have the same impact.

Hey everyone,
Thanks for all your feedback. One of the reasons we haven’t had autoplay as default is that it can be jarring for users to have a video autoplay on a website so we are thinking through how we would approach this.

Please enable auto play!!!!! Soon! I won't renew Spark again, because all the templates are useless to me without autoplay. Make it an option. If I have a simple all type reveal, it is not intrusive.
PLEASE DO THIS!!!! and LMK -

So if you're sending an e-card via email the recipient opts in to see what's at the end of the link by clicking on it - why do you need to click again?

It definitely needs an autoplay function - really lets it down not having it as an option (even if you decide to turn it off).

Please add autoplay option for videos. One of our biggest complaints from users is that they have to click to much to get through material. This would allow the user to scroll only without the additional clicking to access the video. Most say they won't click and that is not a benefit at all. Thank you.

Just make it an option thats off by default, and let the users decide if thats too jarring.

Also doesn't look like a video. Just a static image.

It is not the matter of being intrusive it is what I would want at a certain page for my experience to be cinematic.
If people will use it for intrusive reason then they will lose the visitors. -

Very disappointing - it never even passed my mind that this wouldn't create videos that autoplay in a feed. Needing to click through and press play is very 20th century.

Hello, I would also like autoplay as an option. I have short 30-40 second videos that I use as an animated transition—it would finish playing by the time people have scrolled down past it, so it is overkill to make people stop scrolling to play it.
