Muted Autoplay in Chrome still not working

Question

I am having trouble getting chrome to autoplay a video. I have set the video to muted and it auto plays in both Safari and Firefox but not chrome.

Answer 1

For those creating elements in JavaScript, here is the JavaScript function I'm using to configure elements to autoplay properly in Chrome:

function configureVideoElementForAutoplay (videoElement) {
  videoElement.setAttribute('playsinline', '');
  videoElement.setAttribute('muted', '');
  videoElement.setAttribute('autoplay', '');
  videoElement.muted = true;
}

Example:

let vid = document.createElement('video');
configureVideoElementForAutoplay(vid);

Credit to @Jonny Green for pointing out the necessity of the direct 'muted' property assignment.
