Splash page Video

I am currently reworking our website and want to include a splash video or video background that auto plays and loops on our home page. I have an MP4 video created that I can drop in and it will load but will only play if you press the play button. I want it to launch when the page is opened. Also would like it to autoloop with no video controls available to the viewer. How do I do this in XARA designer Pro? I am on working on a PC with windows 10 if that helps any.

Hi

In many web browsers video will not play automatically due to the auto play being blocked by default in the browser.

Unfortunately there is not a lot you can do about it as this setting is not under your control - Safari and Chrome have this setting enabled by default, other browsers may also do this.
