[WB23] How to run a video in the background

Hello All:

I'm working on a web page (WB23) and I would like to have a video continuously running on the background, which shows customer's products.

I tried the Multimedia control, which supports .mov (quicktime), .wmv (windows) and .flv (flash). However, when I try to run those in Chrome browser, they don't run as the plug in is not installed. I would like to avoid the user to install plugins so I'm looking for something that runs as it is.
Actually, I tried the Webdev Multimedia control Unit example, and the videos don't run...(in Chrome)
I also tried .mp4 (supported in HTML5) , but autostart doesn't work...

I tried to run a video from youtube (via javascript code as it appears in the Web Responsive example), but I don't like the fact that the user can control the video (start, stop, fullscreen, etc), so I would like a video running automatically in the background without any user interaction.

What would be the best way to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance
Michael

Hi Michael,

I know at least Apple has a policy not to allow video or audio te be started without user interaction as it would involve data cost for the user without his consent.

Hi Michael,

Piet's correct, but maybe you could try this technique?
