Description

What type of issue is this?

Missing compatibility data

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

it would be helpful to list which browsers won't autoplay if muted isn't set

What browsers does this problem apply to, if applicable?

No response

What did you expect to see?

a row for "autoplay on muted only" in the compat table.

In some browsers (e.g. Chrome 70.0) autoplay doesn't work if no muted attribute is present.

is this still the case? are other browsers effected?
