'Bypassing chrome autopause on videos with sound?
I have a website set-up, where the background is a YouTube video using Tubular.js plugin. There is a problem with chrome browsers, that auto pauses the youtube video if I load it with mute: false flag. Chrome is the only offender, as it works with opera, firefox etc. If I change the flag to mute: true the video will atuplay fine.
Chrome recently started to block atuplayed videos with sound. Is there an option to bypass this on chrome, or at least modify the tubular.js library/js call so that it will only mute (regardless of settings) on chrome user-agents?

Solution 1:[1]
According to their guidelines about autoplay on chrome ;
Unfortunately, Chrome cannot provide any whitelist exceptions to the autoplay policy.
They also explain how to present the content in a less-invasive way (muted video first) and some other tips about the policy.
