Back in April Chrome got on board with Youtube, Apple and Safari in stopping videos with audio from playing automatically.
It was a nuisance case that could not be ignored any longer. This can present an issue for a developer who wants to have a movie play on entry into a new screen or slide on a slideshow. This has prompted us to begin to develop videos which read as well with sound as without. Talkies were fun, but their day is over. LONG LIVE SILENT FILMS!
