Hi everyone,
I'm currently working on building a feature similar to Facebook Reels in my app using FlutterFlow. The idea is to let users scroll through short videos (like Instagram Reels or TikTok).
However, I'm running into a big limitation with the default video player:
The Problem:
The video player used in Flutter (and in FlutterFlow) autoplays videos in mute mode – especially on web. This means:
Every time the user scrolls to the next video, they have to manually unmute it.
This behavior breaks the user experience, especially for a reels-style interface where sound is expected to play automatically.
What I Need:
I want to build a custom video player (using a custom widget in FlutterFlow) that:
Autoplays videos with sound
Works seamlessly across mobile and web
Feels like a proper short video feed (Reels/TikTok/YouTube Shorts)
Has anyone managed to get autoplay with sound working on Web inside FlutterFlow?
Any workaround or best practice for implementing this kind of experience?
Thanks in advance! 🙏
