Expo- av: Autoplay a video

My purpose is to play a video as background, which will start just after the app loaded,

<Video
  ref={video}
  style={styles.video}
  source={{
    uri: 'http://d23dyxeqlo5psv.cloudfront.net/big_buck_bunny.mp4',
  }}
  isLooping
  resizeMode="contain"
  onPlaybackStatusUpdate={status => setStatus(() => status)}
  onLoad={() => {video.setPositionAsync(0); video.current.playAsync()}}
/>

It worked twice for me. Until then just remained stopped after every compiling.
What change should it require? As a background video there should be no controls visible.

You can add the property shouldPlay in your code, this will make the video autostart playing, then the app loads. Hope it solved the problem.
