Re: [w3c/permissions] Media autoplay permission (#150)

> I'm be interested in hearing the use case for autoplaying videos with audio enabled. Can you provide a few more details?

@marcoscaceres would be happy to help with this one! 
We are working on SVOD product and video there is a central part of it. People expect to play videos in the playlist with autoplay. Also as video is the only reason of why they are on the website, they want it to start playing right away.

Please take a look on a screenshot below:

As you see we even ask people a preference on autoplay to make sure user is comfortable with it. So we would love to request permission right there and handle it via browser native modal. 


So as current state - player act differently in different browsers and its brining a lot of confusion.
