Question

I have encountered a very weird problem with fancybox modal that whenever
my website gets load then the video gets played itself which should played in a modal when
someone clicks on the specific link. Video will get loaded after around 5 mins all by itself.

NOTE:I am using chrome and on it when site opens i dont click anything on the site leave the site as it is and after around five minutes a video gets played all by itself .

kindly let me know how can i fix this issue.
Thanks,

Change autoplay=1 to autoplay=0 in your iframe url. As long as you have the iFrame on you page at load (existing in the html rather than added later with javascript), and you have autoplay=1 in the url, Vimeo will start playing instantly.

If you are looking for the video to autoplay when the user opens the modal, then you will have a more complex solution, because you will need autoplay=1 in the url, but NOT have it in the html and only in your javascript file.
