Many of today's browsers (for example, Chrome and Safari) block 'auto play' when 'audio' is detected.
The same applies to devices such as Android / iPad / iPhone as they do not support 'auto play' as it is deemed annoying for visitors, it uses more bandwidth, and it can also affect battery life of the device.
You can set the audio to 'mute' as this usually allows the browser to play the video due to 'audio' not being detected, or remove the 'audio' from the video itself. Please note this had nothing to do with WWB.
