Hello,

By default the player is set to auto play. This however, does not work on mobile devices.

On mobile devices, the HLS stream is handed off to the native player on the device. As this is the workflow on mobile devices, we are unable to autoplay the stream.

Please note the [known issues article](https://www.wowza.com/docs/important-issues-that-affect-wowza-player) on this and other possible issues with the Wowza Player.

Regards,

Andy E.
