After a lot of testing Version 2.4.3 seems to not play Vimeo video embed in Safari browser Version 15.6, works fine with Firefox and other browsers. When I load the page the video appears frozen (like an image).

  Hi Bryan,

  Can you please try this link on Safari 15.6. https://kctest.online/vimeo On an iPhone and on a Mac this video was playing fine when using Safari.

  Strange, that doesn't play on my Safari browser either... If I press the play button it plays, it doesn't auto start. Is that expected? Also, I forgot to mention, I'm using Astra if it matters.

  Hi Bryan,

  I am sorry; I had not noticed that you were asking about autoplay. I have set the video on autoplay now. Please check it again. https://kctest.online/vimeo

  The video seems to autoplay in Safari and other browsers but muted. In general browsers do not allow auto playing videos to play with sound.

  This is the error I'm seeing in Safari browser, does this help diagnose?

  Hi Bryan,

  We have done some more tests. At our end, the video auto plays muted on safari 15.6. https://jmp.sh/pNTTGM6.  We do not have these errors in the console either.

  Can you please share with me the Vimoe video URL you have entered in Brizy video element?
