cypress: Cypress doesn't play the video present on the page.

I have a video in the HTML’s video tag. And I want to test it by playing it. cy.get('.segment-main-container .video-wrapper video').click({force: true}); In Cypress it’s showing the element is clicked but the video is not playing.

Also, I tried to click on the fullscreen button and it’s working. Don’t know why the video is not playing? Using Cypress 3.0.3 @jennifer-shehane

@nitingupta220 Try starting the video by not clicking it.

cy.get('video').then(video => {
    const element = video.get(0);
    element.muted = true;
    element.play();
    return video;
});
