Why doesn't my youtube video play automatically when I play my presentation?

Sams 3 years ago updated by Gil Sideman 3 years ago 8

I have created a 3 slide presentation that has a youtube video on the second slide. When I play the presentation, the video does not play automatically. Why is that? What should I do?

Hello Sams!

Voki Presentations are designed to auto-play the Voki character when a slide is entered. 

Thus it was deemed best not to auto-play a video, if a video is embedded in the page.

The video will play (of course) when you click the play button in the video.


I hope this helps. Regards,
