I don't know if they are or not but I do know that the autoplay, with user activation required, does not apply to sites you frequently visit and play videos on (they track behavior and potentially allow auto play). If you're a YouTube user then that policy likely allows all YouTube videos to play immediately. I recently ram into this and dig through the flags and some code to figure out why I couldn't get autoplay to work on a site I was building.
- phillipseamore 8y agoThanks for the input mneil. That's why I installed and tested with Chrome Canary - latest version, and no data in the profile. Same result and never visited YT with Canary. To make sure I should setup a clean VM and test again.
- phillipseamore 8y agoClean Ubuntu install with Chrome also autoplays the embedded YT video with autoplay policy set to user interaction.
