| 27 | +## Description |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +I want to auto-play an MP4 video with sound on page load and make the video player disappear after the video has finished playing. The goal is to play a short welcome video by the owner that automatically hides itself upon completion. |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +This KB article also answers the following questions: |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +- How can I make RadMediaPlayer auto-play a video? |
| 34 | +- Is it possible to hide RadMediaPlayer after the video ends? |
| 35 | +- Can RadMediaPlayer start playing a video automatically and then hide itself? |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +## Solution |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +To achieve the desired behavior of auto-playing a video and hiding the [RadMediaPlayer](https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/mediaplayer/overview) after it ends, use the `OnClientEnded` [client-side event](https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/mediaplayer/client-side-programming/overview#client-side-events). In the event handler, you can set the visibility of the RadMediaPlayer to `false`. |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +Add the RadMediaPlayer control to your ASP.NET AJAX page. |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +````ASP.NET |
| 44 | +<telerik:RadMediaPlayer RenderMode="Lightweight" ID="RadMediaPlayer1" runat="server" Width="640px" Height="360px" |
| 45 | + Source="https://www.example.com/path/to/your/video.mp4" OnClientEnded="onClientEnded" /> |
| 46 | +```` |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +Define the `onClientEnded` JavaScript function. This function will be triggered when the video playback ends, hiding the RadMediaPlayer control. |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +````JavaScript |
| 51 | +function onClientEnded(sender, args) { |
| 52 | + sender.set_visible(false); |
| 53 | +} |
| 54 | +```` |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +By following these steps, the RadMediaPlayer will automatically begin playing the video when the page loads and will hide itself after the video concludes, achieving the effect of a welcoming video that disappears post-playback. |
