# setAutoplays(_:)

Sets a Boolean value indicating whether the movie automatically begins playing as soon as the scene is presented.

## Declaration

```swift
func setAutoplays(_ autoplays: Bool)
```

## Parameters

- `autoplays`: A Boolean value indicating the movie’s autoplay behavior. Specify doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true to have the movie automatically play as soon as the scene is presented. If set to doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false, the inline movie object displays the poster image instead. The movie does not begin playing until the user taps the poster, or until you programmatically call either the doc://com.apple.watchkit/documentation/WatchKit/WKInterfaceInlineMovie/play() or doc://com.apple.watchkit/documentation/WatchKit/WKInterfaceInlineMovie/playFromBeginning() method. Defaults to doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true.
