If set to true, the widget will start playing the video or videos after initializing.

Note Some browser do not allow autoplay and will block this feature. A common solution is to mute the video or disable the browser's autoplay policy.

Example - enable automatic play

<div id="mediaplayer"></div>
<script>
$("#mediaplayer").kendoMediaPlayer({
    autoPlay: true,
    media: { title: "Kendo UI for jQuery: Welcome and Overview", source: "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbkbVBNYZMc" }
});
</script>
