      I have a layout in Indesign which has 3 video files all on one page, I’ve set the Media settings to play on page load and I’ve groups the media in the Timing panel. When I export to ePub and view it in iBooks on my Mac, all 3 video files play at the same time, as expected. However, when I play the same ePub file on the iPad only one of the video files plays.

      Is there something I’m missing or need to do to implement this? Can it be done? I know that 3 video files in a Keynote will all play at the same time on the iPad, so I would expect iBooks to do so too.

      Any help is welcome.

      Hi David

      I did some research myself into this quite recently for Galdo’s Gift by Tapocketa https://itunes.apple.com/gb/book/galdos-gift/id1309987794?mt=11 and found, as you have, that multiple autoplaying videos are not supported in iBooks on the iPad.

      So I don’t think there is a solution, sorry.

      Thanks

      Hi Ken

      Darn…it’s annoying that Keynote will do this but iBooks won’t. Galdo’s Gift looks good, I’ll take a look at that with my kids.

      Thanks
