I learned that Google has changed its browser so audio doesn’t auto-play. Has anybody figured out a way around this? (Please keep in mind that I’m an amateur developerĀ 
)
I’ve found a “work around” with using a transparent button and program it to play the audio…for whatever reason, this works. My concern is we’re starting in Captivate 2019. I can’t insert transparent buttons on the VR screens.
Thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide.

I just updated from Captivate 9 to Captivate 2019. I was a little behind. š Thanks for the link!
A big jump from 9 to 11, lot to discover. Success!
I learned today about the “Auto Play” not working…when I click the “Play” button at the beginning of the course, the audio worked great.Ā
Strange because AutoPlay was already disabled in the second version of CP2017, which is already quite a while. Some people try to find workarounds, but IĀ consider that loss of time, since I suspect most desktop browsers will prevent AutoPlay in the future, not only Chrome.
Here is a link:
Chrome, and other browsers may follow, Does prevent AutoPlay (nt only audio now in desktop browsers. That was already the case with mobile browsers since quite a while. YOu better have to live with it, and have a look at the many threads about making the splash screen more engaging, and it needs only one click of the learner to get the whole course started. If you use a workaround it may be broken in the next version or in another browser soon. Since almost two years I never create a course that Autoplays and that is not a problem.
Will post a link to a thread in another post, moderation can take hours for comments/answers with links.
