Autoplay not enabled when MEI is high |
||||||||||||||||||||||
Issue descriptionChrome Version: 66.0.3359.117 (Stable, Official Build, 64-bit) OS: Win10 What steps will reproduce the problem? TL;DR if you set MEI high for arabic.cnn.com the following site does not autoplay: https://arabic.cnn.com/sites/default/files/static/cnn/autoplay/chrome/autoplay.html Detailed steps to repro: (1) Enable autoplay policy (chrome://flags#autoplay-policy :: set to "Document user activation") (2) If necessary, clear browsing data so that MEI for arabic.cnn.com is reset (3) Set MEI for arabic.cnn.com to allow autoplay by repeating the following steps (3a)-(3d) at least 6 times: (3a) Confirm that all cnn.com tabs are closed (3b) Open https://arabic.cnn.com/sites/default/files/static/cnn/autoplay/chrome/autoplay.html (3c) Play the video for at least 7 sec. (3d) Close the tab (4) Now visit the same site - autoplay should work but isn't. Confirm that MEI has enabled autoplay for arabic.cnn.com What is the expected result? When MEI is high, site should autoplay What happens instead? Autoplay is blocked Note: I checked Canary 68.0.3403.0 and it doesn't seem to be a problem

I can reproduce this but if I enable the MediaEngagementBypassAutoplayPolicies feature it is working. It looks like what has happened here is that the autoplay policy flag was enabled but the feature to enable MEI to bypass autoplay policies was still turned off. Please can you run chrome with the following command line flags and try again? --enable-features=MediaEngagementBypassAutoplayPolicies,UnifiedAutoplay

To clarify, the chrome://flags#autoplay-policy only changes the policy but doesn't enable MEI. The roll out of the feature enables a couple of flags, including chrome://flags#autoplay-policy (but not only).

Confirmed with Prabhu that the issue goes away when using the correct flags. Thanks Becca, marking as WontFix |
