In Cordova, Ionic or Electron applications autoplay with sound is generally allowed but you may need to insure your application is compiled with the related appropriate settings for autoplay. On Desktop Chrome 66+, Chrome may allow for autoplay with sound to run based on ChromeĮngagement Index (MEI): in short, frequently visited sites by the user will allow autoplay with sound, while other sites will be restricted to muted autoplay. Desktop Safari 11+ and Firefox 66+ will allowįor exceptions for autoplay with sound to run, on a site-by-site basis: those exceptions need to be set by the user through browser settings.
