Autoplay videos in Icecat

Autoplay videos in Icecat

[znavko]

Hello, users! Can you recommend something to make Icecat autostart videos (that are really autoplayable and start when I use another browser).
I cannot remember what I did, but I had this on my laptop. Now I've installed Guix on PC and do not have autoplay videos in Icecat.
ddg.gg did not answer me.
Please, how autoplay videos in Icecat?

This would probably be more appropriate for the help-gnuzilla list, but
anyway, try this: open about:preferences#privacy, scroll down to the
Permissions section, and uncheck the "Block websites from automatically
playing sound" option to allow automatic playback on all sites, or leave
it checked but instead click the "Exceptions..." button in front of it,
and fine-tune which websites you would like to allow or block from
automatically playing sound.

Hope this helps.

Hello! Thank you for reminder. I only selected "Custom" content blocking and unblocked Cookies.
Refresh of all tabs did not make effect, but restart browser make effect.
So allowing Cookies makes videos start playing automatically.
