Notes

  • This function starts or resumes video playback depending on the current state of the video.
  • If the video is already playing, calling this function will have no effect.
  • When the video starts playing, the FacePop:Play event is fired, which you can listen to.
  • On some browsers, videos will not autoplay without user interaction due to browser policies. In such cases, you may need to call play() in response to a user action like a click.
