Topic: Pre-loading, Redirecting on Reload, Video Auto-play

I’m trying to re-build websites from the ground up to practice the different components of web design — graphics, 3d art, coding, etc. And came across a few issues along the way.

I’m currently working on re-creating a french site called lesjoliesmusiques.fr which I found on siteinspire.com, and was designed by Pam Studio.

(3/3) How do I auto-play videos

All you have to do is add muted to your opening video tag. It should look something like this: <video autoplay muted> … </video>
