Important: Chrome Autoplay Policy and How to Resolve It
What is the policy?
Modern browsers like Chrome block autoplay of videos that include sound unless the user has interacted with the page (e.g. click, tap, or key press). This is designed to prevent unexpected noise and improve user experience — but it may affect signage playback if your videos include sound.
Option 1: Mute the video in EasySignage
To ensure videos autoplay without restriction:
- Go to manage.easysignage.com
- Edit the video item in your playlist
- Check the “Mute” checkbox
- Click Publish
Muted videos are allowed to autoplay in all browsers without any user interaction.
Option 2: Disable the autoplay policy in Chrome
For kiosks or controlled environments, you can disable the autoplay restriction:
Method 1: Launch Chrome with a special flag
On Windows:
chrome.exe --autoplay-policy=no-user-gesture-requiredOn macOS:
/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --autoplay-policy=no-user-gesture-requiredOn Linux:
google-chrome --autoplay-policy=no-user-gesture-required
Method 2: Chrome experimental flag (may not work in newer versions)
- Open
chrome://flags/#autoplay-policy - Set to “No user gesture is required”
- Restart the browser
Note: This method is ideal for development or kiosk use. For public users, using muted videos is the recommended approach.
