It is currently unusable in chrome. It works without a user action if you are the developer (i.e. you visited the site recently) but not if you are a new Visitor, this makes it impossible to do regression testing. (It is also anti-competitive IMHO). The user can have granted mic permissions etc, but still not get autoplay. I spend more time fixing this than almost anything else. I have an otherwise needless modal dialog in many of my apps, to obtain a user click, which then has to go off an do a _lot_ of unrelated things. Explaining this to a rational web-dev is exhausting.
