As far as I know, HTML5 only autoplay when muted on safari.

However, youtube was able to autoplay video with audio.

Did youtube get exception from Safari?

How did they make it happen?

For example, if you go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dpIPeTgA64, the video will autoplay with audio.

Thanks.

  • @TinyGiant, I'm asking how youtube is able to bypass that while I need to use 'muted' to autoplay video in HTML5. Youtube autoplay with audio on my safari browser. – moeseth Aug 18 '17 at 10:46

by default, safari whitelists youtube to allow autoplay. if you open youtube.com and examine preferences/websites you'll see youtube listed.
