For a brief time when choosing a custom video on Pro WP you could choose to remove the controls, enable loop and enable autoplay.  Autoplay has now been replaced with Muted.

 

This is a new install, new free and new pro.

  Hi,

  Yes, it is normal behaviour. If you remove the controls, the video will be set automatically with an autoplay function. When you remove the controls, the visitor can't understand that there you have the video and it is normal to be set with an autoplay function. Overwise the user will not be able to play the video and he will understand that there you have an image.
  Regarding the "Mute" function, the video will be set as Muted because it is a restriction of the browser. If the user want to listen to the sound of the video, he should activate this option by himself.

  Best regards,
  Sandra
