For those of you that have noticed that Google Chrome no longer automatically plays videos on a website when it loads and wish to have this feature enabled again, follow the simple steps below in order to do so.
1) Open a new tab in Google Chrome's browser.
2) Copy and paste the following into the address bar of the new tab on Google Chrome: chrome://flags/
3) In the 'Search flags' field, type in: Autoplay
4) The "Default" setting for this disables autoplay. To re-enable autoplay simply select "No user gesture is required" from the drop down menu at the right.
5) Near the bottom of the browser you will notice "Your changes will take effect the next time you relaunch Google Chrome." Click the "RELAUNCH NOW" button to the bottom right.
6) VOILA! All the pages you visit with an autoplay source code in them will now continue to autoplay like before!
