Problems with Facebook videos autoplay ($20 reward for solution)

Hey guys.

I recently opened a new facebook page and have started uploading all sorts of videos to it.
For some reason though none of the videos autoplay.
I've tried a number of things, even reduced the resolution, but I can never get them to autoplay.

Any ideas as to what the issue could be? Facebook support is basically non-existant.

    Have you, by any chance, tweaked the settings of your account and disabled the autoplay? I know it's a dumb question to ask, but first things first: verify it. Might be the cause.

    Yeah I checked that. I think those autoplay settings are for viewing videos with your account, not for posting them.

    I'm desparate to get this fixed.

    I'm offering $20 via Paypal to anyone who sorts this out for me

    Maybe they just dont autoplay for yor because they are your videos? have you got a friend to go on there?

    Yeah, I've checked with other people as well... they don't autoplay on their timelines either

    I'm assuming Facebook might have a certain time-marker for new pages and video publishing. It's probably preventive measures to prevent spam and people just spewing crapola content all over the Facebook.

    Have you double checked you were changing the page settings and now your own?

    If you send me the link I would be happy to help you troubleshoot. I have worked with the Open Graph API several times and can probably help you find the root cause of the problem.

    FACEBOOK SETTINGS FOR MOBILE DEVICE
    https://www.facebook.com/help/mobile...34730264?rdrhc

    For computers:
    Go to your options drop-down menu in the top right.
    Click "Settings"
    Select the "Videos" link on the left.
    Turn the "Auto-Play Videos" from "ON" to "OFF"

    Actually this is the settings which now a days facebook provides... Other user can Turn off the Auto Play or he can Turn it ON... in your case you have to turn ON the autoplay option..

    I hope this might help you !!
