For anyone using the Video Intro component or videos on their courses, this will be relevant. Both Chrome and Safari have made changes to not allow autoplay videos without the user interacting with the page at least once. > **[Autoplay Policy Changes  |  Web  |  Google Developers](https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/09/autoplay-policy-changes)** > > Learn best practices for good user experiences with the new autoplay policies in Chrome, coming April 2018. > **[Auto-Play Policy Changes for macOS](https://webkit.org/blog/7734/auto-play-policy-changes-for-macos/)** > > This is a guest post from the Safari team about changes to how Safari handles HTML5 video and audio auto-play. This can not be circumvented and autoplay is only allowed is the video is muted. We are investigating removing the autoplay toggle and adding a play button and poster image option instead.
