Get Motion to your images. Media Hovers is a responsive HTML5 plugin which plays audio and video on hover. It can be applied to any element.

2. Since recent Chrome and Safari autoplay restrictions, it may not be possible to play on hover until user interacts with the page before (like a click on using browser scroll before interaction with videos).
