I could make a button that is MUTED at the beginning that they would have to un-mute with a click, I think, but it would only be temporary. Or if they just didn’t click on the page initially. It helps with opening pages in the background that play audio or video content automatically though.Yes, Chrome auto-mutes your page again if a certain activity indicator score goes too low. If you want to limit autoplay, select 'Document user activation is required'.Â Note that this won't block autoplaying media completely, as media starts to play as soon as you interact with the page. Document user activation is required - Users need to interact with the document before audio or video content is played automatically.Audio or video content loaded from other sites require user interaction. User gesture is required for cross-origin iFrames - Same as 'no user gesture is required' but only for same-origin media content.No user gesture is required - Users don't need to interact with the document for video or audio sources to start playing automatically.
