local collectionService = game:GetService("CollectionService")
task.wait(3)
for _, characters in pairs(collectionService:GetTagged("Characters")) do
	task.spawn(function()
		local hum = characters:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
		local anim = hum:WaitForChild("Animation")
		local animTrack = hum:LoadAnimation(anim)
		animTrack.Looped = true
		animTrack.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Idle
		task.wait(1)
		animTrack:Play()
	end)
end

my animations are working looped as expected on roblox studio but in the game for once. idk why that happens. do you guys have any idea to solve this?

Usually best to have the animation itself be looped within the Animation Editor.

Roblox still has this issue in regards for the looped property on AnimationTracks in which if you want them to still loop, you need to have an additional localscript to set the Looped property instead of setting it from the server. The server isn’t properly replicating to the clients with this Looped property change, so clients just play the animation itself.

As a tough fix since you already are using CollectionService, you can also use this as a localscript.

local CollectionService = game:GetService("CollectionService")

local tag = "Characters"

local function onAddedToCharacter(item)
	if x and x:IsA("AnimationTrack") then
		x.Looped=true
	end 
end

-- Save the connections so they can be disconnected when the tag is removed
local connections = {}

local function onInstanceAdded(object)
	connections[object] = object.ChildAdded:Connect(onAddedToCharacter)
	local animationTrack=object:FindFirstChildOfClass("AnimationTrack")
	if animationTrack then
		onAddedToCharacter(animationTrack)
	end 
end

local function onInstanceRemoved(object)
	-- If there is a stored connection on this object, disconnect/remove it
	if connections[object] then
		connections[object]:Disconnect()
		connections[object] = nil
	end
end

-- Listen for this tag being applied to objects
CollectionService:GetInstanceAddedSignal(tag):Connect(onInstanceAdded)
CollectionService:GetInstanceRemovedSignal(tag):Connect(onInstanceRemoved)

-- Also detect any objects that already have the tag
for _, object in pairs(CollectionService:GetTagged(tag)) do
	onInstanceAdded(object)
end
