Hi!
I have uploaded a video into my Qualtrics presentation (not from YouTube, but simply uploaded from my computer) into a 'descriptive text' box. My presentation involves randomisation both within and between blocks, which has created some issues. I need the video to autoplay, but I haven't been able to do so yet. The questions answered on this topic seem only to relate to videos embedded from YouTube, and the custom codes don't work for me. I am wondering if someone has ideas of how I could achieve this?
I would also like to remove the play/pause buttons from the video (same issues as above). Further, I can't get questions to autoadvance (from the look&feel motion section) since the randomiser is in place. Does anyone have tips for this?
Thanks in advance!

You can take a look here: http://bit.ly/QUALTVIDS
It includes the demo and question HTMLs for both YouTube and video element.

Question HTML:

<iframe style="pointer-events: none" width="640" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Z8mf8zipknM?autoplay=1&controls=0&showinfo=0&loop=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

1. Disables clicks
2. Autoplay
3. Removes controls
4. Loops the Video

Thanks a lot! It works, but now the sound echoes... Do you know what I could do about this?

The code that I've shared does not interact with the audio, so there's something going wrong in your config. There could be too many things that could be causing an audio echo, so I can't point towards a solution without looking at your implementation.
