play() failed because the user didn't interact with the document first - on click event using Vimeo API

I'm assuming an onclick event counts as interacting with the document, so not sure why an autoplay error is being thrown

Uncaught (in promise) NotAllowedError: play() failed because the user didn't interact with the document first.

const playbtn = document.getElementById('playbtn');
const player = document.getElementById('video-player');
const vimeoPlayer = new Vimeo.Player(player);
playbtn.onclick = function() {
  playbtn.style.display = "none";
  vimeoPlayer.play();
}
vimeoPlayer.on('pause', function() {
  playbtn.style.display = "block";
});
vimeoPlayer.on('play', function() {
  playbtn.style.display = "none";
});
i {
  position: absolute;
  color: white;
}
.fa-play-circle {
        display: block;
        position: absolute;
        left: 50%;
        top: 50%;
        font-size: 20rem;
        -webkit-transform:  translateX(-50%, -50%);
        -moz-transform:     translate(-50%, -50%);
        -ms-transform:      translate(-50%, -50%);
        -o-transform:       translate(-50%, -50%);
        transform:          translate(-50%, -50%);
        z-index: 2;
        color: white;
        color: rgba(255,255,255,0.75);
}

For me allow="autoplay" wasn't enough! I had to add muted=1 to the src attribute of the <iframe>:

<iframe
    width="853"
    height="480"
    allow="autoplay"
    src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/23190487&amp;muted=1&amp;autoplay=1"
</iframe>

If you're curious about why muting might be necessary, check out this related stackoverflow answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/67370740/11715057

I was missing allow="autoplay" in iframe's attributes

<iframe id="video-player" class="video" width="560" height="315" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/309741585" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen allow="autoplay"></iframe>
