Autoplay Videos May Turn Off Visitors
Since the technology became available to make videos quickly play on the internet, many companies have been including them on their website. The presence of a video on your website will neither help nor hurt your search engine ranking, (provided it does not replace textual content) but it may help with conversion.
However, when someone goes to a website and a video involuntarily plays, many web surfers get annoyed. What if the user is at work? In a public area? In church? (OK, the last one we made up, but you get the point.) Audio should never autoplay.
You probably will not irritate anyone by making them hit play, but it is likely someone will get turned off by your video automatically playing.
