Background video not playing when App is loaded for the first time in Angular 5 App

Question

I am trying to keep a video as the background of my Angular 5 app. But, when the page is loaded for the first time, the video is not playing.But If i go to any other page, and then again come back to home page, then the video is playing.

Till now i have tried these all

1.

<video id="v-control" width="100%" autoplay="" loop="" tabindex="0">
   <source type="video/mp4" src="assets/img/MyVideo.mp4" alt=" MyVideo" />
   <source type="video/webm" src="assets/img/MyVideo.webm"  alt=" MyVideo" />
</video>

2. Jquery plugin for background video

<div data-vide-bg="MyVideo">
  <video id="v-control" width="100%" autoplay="" loop="" tabindex="0">
    <source type="video/mp4" src="assets/img/MyVideo.mp4" alt=" MyVideo" />
    <source type="video/webm" src="assets/img/MyVideo.webm"  alt=" MyVideo" />
  </video>
</div>

and included

<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="src/jquery.vide.js"></script>

in index.html

Still i am facing the same issue. Can anyone help , where am i doing wrong?

Try using onloadedmetadata="this.muted=true" within video tag as below, Hope this helps:

<video onloadedmetadata="this.muted=true" autoplay loop  preload="auto">
    <source src="Video_url" type="video/mp4">
</video>
