# Autoplay doesn't work in Chrome or vMix v77 Since 2017, Browsers have required users "interact" with a website in some way before videos will be allowed to auto-play. You can modify Chrome to allow for auto-play, but it's not super easy to do. In OBS and the Electron Capture app, auto-play is allowed. vMix v77 does not support auto-play, which must be an oversight on their behalf... right?? haha. A complaint has been filed regardless; voice your own request for the feature here: . A full-screen-sized play button will show up to help accommodate the need for user gestures before auto playing videos.\ \ **TL;DR;** you have a few options: * use the Electron Capture app or OBS Studio to play videos; these apps have gesture-requirements disabled * in Chrome, go to: `chrome://settings/content/sound?search=sound` and add vdo.ninja to the list of "allowed to play sound" list * add `&noaudio` to your VDO.Ninja view link, so no audio track loads -- without audio, the video should auto-play. * try adding `--autoplay-policy=no-user-gesture-required` to the Chrome/Chromium command line to have the auto-play policy changed on load (this may not work with recent versions of Chrome though) * make sure there are no Adblockers installed or other extensions install; sometimes these may interfere with auto-playing --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
