I'm currently trying this out on one of my sites to see if it boosts my visitor site time and in turn results in a higher average page views per visit. What are you guys thoughts on this?
Generally it's a bad idea. People don't like to be forced into anything like that. Having video will definitely boost conversions, but there's no need to make it auto play, people will find and play the video as they see fit. Don't do it. Good luck
