Videos only play when I interact with the slideshow

Hi! This is really good, thanks for it... I can't get the videos to autoplay. It only plays when I interact with the buttons, otherwise it's paused in the first frame. Do you know a way to autoplay videos as the slideshow goes, without having to interact with it?

If you're using Chrome (or another Chromium-based browsers), it's probably because it now blocks autoplay by default. I managed to solve that by setting the video element as "muted".

My videos don't have sound so it's not an issue for me. If having the sound is needed, it's probably necessary to add a button somewhere to let the user activate the sound
