To play a video with sound on iOS, you need to capture a user gesture (such as a tap) before playing the video. You can either add a play button on the video which calls play() on the video when clicked (see our image target video with sound sample project), or you can add a splash screen which has the user tap the screen to start the experience (see our splash screen sample project).

> Help me please. My glb animation autoplay works, but the music autoplay is not working. Some device can play the music once. But after refresh there is no music. Some device no music at all.

Hope this helps 🙂
