title: Autoplay video element on mobile browser
body: <p>I have read that autoplay was not possible, or not advised on both iOS and Android (more on that here: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14959454/no-autoplay-in-iframe-html5-player-on-mobile-android-chrome-and-firefox">no autoplay in iframe HTML5 player on mobile (Android Chrome and Firefox)?</a>). But I was wondering if there was a way that would allow to replicate the same behavior, that is the video playing soon as the page is loaded.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried preloading the video, and playing it once the DOM is loaded, I tried forcing a play soon as the video can be played, none of that work, it always result in the user having to tap the video to play it.</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone help?</p>
  
  <p>NB: I'm working with plain old JavaScript, no jQuery.</p>
