How to enable Media AutoPlay in Microsoft WebView2?

Question

I am using a WinForms application and within that I created a WebView2 instance to play media content using HTML5. I have been looking into documentation to find some way by which I can Enable AutoPlay in WebView2 such that my desktop application will play videos without user's interaction.

Things that I have tried.

• I changed the Registry following this Documentation without success
• I also enabled the AutoPlay from within Microsoft Edge but it did not have any effect.

Thank you!

It can be so. It helped me

public MainWindow()
    {
        Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("WEBVIEW2_ADDITIONAL_BROWSER_ARGUMENTS", "--autoplay-policy=no-user-gesture-required");
        InitializeComponent();
    }
