When using a video in a prototype, Figma takes a few seconds to load and start playing.

If there a (hacky) way to preload the video, so it auto-plays instantly when its page is open?

(for SEO: pre-load, preloading, pre-loading)

Hey @Gabriel37, thanks for reaching out!

Sorry, but no - there currently isn’t a way to preload a video in a prototype.

My tacky workaround is to:

  1. put the video in a component
  2. place it in the frame that links to the real frame, autoplaying at 1% opacity
