I have an embedded Youtube video in a Wordpress page. On my client's computer it starts autoplaying as soon as the page is loaded. He's using Google Chrome.
On other computers the video doesn't autoplay (I've tried on multiple computers with Chrome, Firefox, IE, Opera)
The embed URL doesn't contain the "autoplay" parameter.
Any idea what could be the problem?
Try to add the autoplay parameter and specifically set it the way you want it to.

I have created simple SharePoint Online classic page and embedded a video uploaded in Microsoft Stream using it's Embed code (iframe). This is working properly in Chrome, Edge and FireFox. But when it comes about IE, the embed code wont work and it says "The video could not be found":
However, when i open Microsoft Stream app in IE and play video from there, it gets played successfully:
I have tried almost all solutions that are described e.g. adding stream url in trusted sites etc but no success. Any suggestions for this?
I tried to upload a video using Microsoft Stream and try to embed it in the SharePoint site using an Iframe in IE 11 browser.
Based on my testing result, It is working fine.
Here is the testing result.
I suggest you make a test with any other video to see the result. If the issue persists then try to reset the IE. For testing purposes, try to lower down the security settings and check the issue.
For testing purposes, you can try to add that embed code to HTML page to see if video works in IE or not.
I have a client that has a website. The website current allows users to login and search for and play .mp4 video. The list of playlist is created dynamically where values are stored in a sql server 2008 database. My client's site is already built for smartphone utilization and did not want to recreate an iphone app. Besides it would mean loading thousands of video. Instead I thought I would use the UIWebview to load the website. This seemed to work well. However, when you try to click on and play video within the UIWebview nothing happens. This is not the case if we launch the mobile website within the apple mobile safari browser. The vide plays by kicking off in the iPhone video player. Is there any way to accomplish this same functionality with a uiwebview? Any guidance or help is appreciated.
UIWebView will play video using <video> if everything is set up correctly, either remote files or local files will work (if they are the correct format).
What does your video tag look like? In particular your src.
If you want to, for example, play an inline video the html5 for that would be something like
<video id="theVideo" controls width="280" height="160" src="yourVideo.mp4" webkit-playsinline></video>
And it would be necessary in the UIWebView to set this line
self.webView.allowsInlineMediaPlayback = YES;
Or you can also explicitly load the media player, but doing everything in HTML5 is neat and tidy and easy.
I was wondering if I can access the webcam via a browser plugin e.g. for Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer etc?
Are there already similar plugins/add-ons?
Thanks
It's possible to access the webcam through Flash, for instance.
An example of this is Omegle, which uses Flash to access the webcam.
An alternative is doing it in Silverlight, as in this example.
Finally, there's Java, in which you could write an applet to access the webcam. This article should demonstrate this.
If you wish to do it yourself, you will have to write the plugins yourself.
This can be done using the NPAPI for most browsers, or by writing a BHO (Browser Helper Object) for Internet Explorer.
How to interact with the webcam there depends on which language you choose, as you have full access to system libraries.
Note that writing a custom browser plugin is both harder, and a larger hassle for users, as they have to install something new, as opposed to just using their existing browser plugins.
I just found this:

One year and a half after this question was made. I haven't tested it, but maybe it'll help.
From the link (just a copy/paste showing how to record something using the camera as input source):
<input type="file" accept="video/*;capture=camcorder">
<input type="file" accept="audio/*;capture=microphone">
None of the major Webbrowser's (IE, FF, Chrome) provide any special support for Webcams. You will need to either use the native OS's API (whatever that may be), or embed Flash in Webbrowser control in your browser plug-in.
You can use Mediadevices.getUserMedia (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MediaDevices/getUserMedia) to capture webcam stream on browser (chrome and firefox).
To play with webcam stream on safari, you would have to use a pollyfill - https://github.com/Temasys/AdapterJS
To record the video/audio stream, you can make use of Media recorder api https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MediaRecorder
(Note : recording stream is still a challenge in Safari as there is no support/pollyfill. However, it works perfectly on Chrome and Firefox latest versions).To make video recording work on Safari, it maybe worthwhile to explore https://github.com/ronghanghu/webcamjs (Note flash plugin needs to be installed and enabled)

I am in charge of creating plugins for all major browsers which will hijack links from specified website visited. I wonder if this can be done by any plugin. I mean if plugins has that level of control over the website visited by the browser under my plugin supervision?
When I say hijack it means, I should be able to read the anchor tag's href attribute value and to modify it accordingly. I know how to do that in Javascript and I know Google Chrome extensions are written in HTML, CSS & Javascript so this seems to be working. Will it work for IE, Firefox, Safari?
After huge research I got to know this is possible in Chrome, Firefox and IE. I am still researching for Safari.
I have a wmv video hosted in SharePoint. I've created a Content Editor web part with a bit of custom content and I've placed a simple link to the video Click to view.
There is really nothing special going on here. Some users can click on the link and the video opens in their default video player. Other users see a range of different errors/prompts. Some users are prompted for their network credentials and others receive a generic "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage.
The same problems occur if I create a generic HTML web page (outside of SharePoint) and have users try to launch the video.
I am trying to avoid embedding the video in the HTML and just have users link directly to the video itself.
Has anyone encountered this issue and do you have any suggestions for making this work?
This appears to be a combination of browser issues and file security.
People are being asked for their network credentials because the file itself is not "public"; it requires authentication to be read, or appears to do so from your description. Different browsers will display different messages when attempting to authenticate for the file.
Additionally, the default player for a browser may not be set or the browser may not allow passoff to third party programs, both of which will generate different messages for different browsers. This will always be an issue for hot-linked videos, and there's nothing you can do about it except use some guaranteed playback platform that all consuming browsers must have installed, such as Flash or Silverlight. That comes with issues all on its own, but such is the nature of the online world.
