Description

Do we have, or should we add, an example of video without using autoplay for maximum mobile support? Maybe something with a Begin Experience entry button.

Some discussion in the #ar room in Slack — it seems our 360º video example is not working on any mobile device — it loads on my Nexus 5X (first frame Chrome, extremely slow framerate in Firefox), and nothing in iOS (any browser).

Research direction

Start by inspecting and running the linked 360º video example, then reproduce its behavior on Android and iOS browsers. Done means there is a video example that avoids autoplay, provides a clear Begin Experience entry point, and works on supported mobile devices.
