Allow media autoplay

Setting the policy to True lets Google Chrome autoplay media. Setting the policy to False stops Google Chrome from autoplaying media.

By default, Google Chrome doesn't autoplay media. But, for certain URL patterns, you can use the AutoplayAllowlist policy to change this setting.

If this policy changes while Google Chrome is running, it only applies to newly opened tabs.

Supported on: At least Microsoft Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 family
