is this new tab on the foreground(aka get focus) or background? if it is in background, it is intentionally not auto-play until it is put on foreground. I don't have any problem for YouTube video auto-play when the video is brought to foreground. please clarify
It wont autoplay when it is in the background

I think Chrome is by design won't auto play a video when the video is in background tab. 
Frank, can you confirm?
