i'm new to html and web development, I am testing a basic page where a button opens a modal and in that modal there's a video.
Can you help me making it autoplay when the modal opens and stop when it closes? I tried a lot op options i found on the web but I can´t get it to work.
I started using w3schools examples.

<script>
// Get the modal
var modal = document.getElementById("myModal");
// Get the button that opens the modal
var btn = document.getElementById("myBtn");
// Get the <span> element that closes the modal
var span = document.getElementsByClassName("close")[0];
// When the user clicks the button, open the modal
btn.onclick = function() {
modal.style.display = "block"
}
// When the user clicks on <span> (x), close the modal
span.onclick = function() {
modal.style.display = "none";
}
// When the user clicks anywhere outside of the modal, close it
window.onclick = function(event) {
if (event.target == modal) {
modal.style.display = "none";
}
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
You can use play() and pause()
document.getElementById('myVideo').play(); // <-- PLAY
document.getElementById('myVideo').pause(); // <-- PAUSE
In the example, I have commented on the places where I added these new lines
