Where has this feature gone in the new release of chrome. when you want videos from youtube to auto play it is disabled since that last update. I would like to re enable it.

chrome://media-engagement reports it disabled

chrome://flags/#autoplay-policy is now missing in the new version

This should be an option, not just a flag - that is missing now! It is really annoying when a video autoplays (even muted) especially if there are more embedded videos. They start to play when fully visible, muted. If I pause the video and scroll away, than later scroll back, it starts again. I even encountered eg. 9gag pages where 2-3 videos started to muted autoplay simultaneously.

Hi Guys, This repo is for the WebFundamentals documentation and not Chrome itself. You can file a bug or FR on the chromium issue tracker at crbug.com

As for autoplay-policy, it still available as a command-line flag --autoplay-policy
