      • Enabled: Your video starts playing when the page loads.
        Note: Due to browser restrictions, videos play on mute when set to autoplay. However, your viewers can turn the sound on whenever they want.
      • Disabled: Your visitors need to click the Play icon to play the video.
    • Plays in loop: 
      • Enabled: Your video plays constantly on repeat.

  8. Enter a description in the What's in the video? field to push your page higher up in search results.

Note:
iPhones have native video controls that cannot be removed or disabled. This means that even if a video control is disabled on your Wix site, it may still be enabled on an iPhone.
