You may have noticed this yourself while browsing the internet. I hope it'll solve any autoplay related issues happening after the new strict policy deployed by google.Google’s Chrome web browser, which is widely used (currently it has almost an 80% market share of global web browser usage), will no longer allow a video to autoplay if the website it’s hosted on has not been previously interacted with by the user.Īutoplay videos hosted on a website which you haven’t interacted with previously (just a click will do) will now appear as a black box, which will be confusing for users.

Otherwise, instruct them to Allow Sound permission from your site settings, that will also grant access to play media with or without sound permanently.Īfter two days of continuous searching and before giving up the hope to autoplay audio/video with/without sound I have come up with these two solution that simply works without any user gestures. If for some reason users don't want to give their microphone permission then only you can do to convince them the fact that you only need this permission for playing media automatically for them, it has nothing to do with their microphone because you are stopping it as soon as the media starts playing. It works because as long as you are capturing anything then you are allowed to play everything.

It will ask users for their Microphone permission and they have to click Allow once then you are permitted to play anything with / without sound.
