Up-to-date browsers such as Google Chrome and Apple's Safari restrict the automatic playback of video content, as this can create an annoying user experience. Because the Tradecast platform offers a number of options for automatic video playback, it is therefore good to know how different web browsers deal with offering the 'autoplay' feature.
The Tradecast platform distinguishes two different types of autoplay features: 'muted autoplay' and 'unmuted autoplay'. The first type automatically plays videos without playing the corresponding sound and the second automatically plays videos with the corresponding sound. Below is a list of the autoplay policies of different web browsers:
| Operating system | Browser | Type | Autoplay allowed? |
| MacOS | Safari 10 | Unmuted autoplay | Yes |
| Muted autoplay | Yes | ||
| Safari 11 | Unmuted autoplay | No | |
| Muted autoplay | Yes | ||
| Windows/MacOS | Google Chrome | Unmuted autoplay | No |
| Muted autoplay | Yes | ||
| iOS | Safari 11 | Unmuted autoplay | No |
| Muted autoplay | Yes | ||
| Android | Google Chrome | Unmuted autoplay | No |
| Muted autoplay | Yes |
