This is most likely blocked by the autoplay policy. This will not change.

Can you elaborate the problem with a screen reader?
The Screen reader user can’t click play because you have to hover over the player with the mouse which a screen reader user can’t.   You use to give the user the choice.  This is how it needs to be.  After all it’s the users using your product they know what they want and what’s best for them.

Looking at the issue, it sounds that the website is broken and do not offer keyboard access. I would recommend you to notify the web developers if you can.
Again Chrome should return to the  behavior prior to the April update.  In the alternative is there a version that I could use that won’t auto update?
