====== Enabling Autoplay ======

Some browsers don't allow playback of video unless manually initiated. While this behavior makes sense when used as a traditional web browser on a laptop or tablet, it interferes with Blocks need to play video unattended. If you run into issues with video not playing, you may want to check/change the settings described below.

==== Google Chrome ====

To allow Blocks to auto-play video and audio in Chrome, do as follows:
 
  - Click the three dots in the top right hand corner and select Settings.
  - In the Settings window, click the magnifying glass icon in the top right hand corner.
  - Type //Site Settings// into the search field.
  - Click the //Site Settings// item that appears.
  - At the next level, click //Sound// (Allow sites to play sound).
  - Click the //Add// button next to //Allow//.
  - Type the domain name or IP address part of the URL used by the spot. If you're using the same computer as server, you can type //localhost// here.

:!: When using Chrome on PIXILAB Player, this setting is handled automatically.

==== Apple Safari ====

In Safari 11 and later you need to change the following setting in Preferences to make videos play automatically.
