  • [Browsers generally require the user to interact with the video controls in the page and other heuristics](https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/03/chrome-66-will-try-to-block-unwanted-noisy-autoplaying-video/) to determine that the user *wants* to play audio/visual content (as opposed to annoying video ads which no-one asked for and no-one wants and holy crap you're wasting _how much_ of my mobile data plan's bandwidth?!?).
