# Why isn't my video autoplaying?

Autoplay is available on all video sections and blocks.&#x20;

To enable, toggle the **Enable autoplay** setting:

Videos may not always play automatically, even if autoplay is selected. Different browsers and operating systems have different policies towards video autoplaying. Here are a few reasons why your video may not be autoplaying on all devices:

* Data saving/low bandwidth modes
* Battery saving mode / low power modes
* [Browser settings and policies](https://developer.chrome.com/blog/autoplay) to block autoplay videos
* Third party extensions to block videos
* User settings to reduce motion in the browser
