title: vimeo autoplay=1 no longer working in Chrome
body: <p>I recently developed a website that has a streaming video as its full-screen background that autoplays &amp; loops when the website loads. It was working in Chrome until very recently. Google changed their policy on autoplaying video in April, so I believe this may be the reason. The new google policy says that muted video is still allowed to autoplay, but that doesn't seem to be helping me (I already had it muted). The video still autoplays and loops in Firefox. </p>
  
  <p>The code that I'm using to stream the video is as follows:</p>
  
  <p><div class="snippet" data-lang="js" data-hide="false" data-console="true" data-babel="false">
  <div class="snippet-code">
  <pre class="snippet-code-html lang-html prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;iframe  class="embed-responsive-item" 
  src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/240749191?muted=1&amp;autoplay=1&amp;loop=1&amp;background=1" 
  frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;</code></pre>
  </div>
  </div>
  </p>
  
  <p>The website is live at <a href="http://www.hypempire.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Hypempire.com</a></p>
