This add an option to unmute videos on first page load.
Normally videos are muted on initial load and you have to umute one to watch them with audio. This is due to a browser limitation where a website cannot autoplay and unmuted video. Unless you explicitly allow a website to autoplay audio in your browser.
The new option in the settings menu will enable audio when you visit Instagram.com. The user still need to allow audio autoplay in their browser. If not enabled, all the videos will be paused by the browser until the user interacts with the video player. There is a hint to do so, if this option is enabled. I may add browser specific instructions with images for more guidance.
