How do I give autoplay to all (or almost all) mobile and desktop browsers?

<audio controls autoplay>
<source src="horse.ogg" type="audio/ogg">
<source src="horse.mp3" type="audio/mpeg">
Your browser does not support the audio element.
</audio>

Apparently this code removed from here, doesn’t work. Does anyone know any way to do this using pure Javascript or HTML or any other technology?

I know a lot of people will say this is bad practice, but it’s for a web-radio.

    I think for mobile phone there is no possibility to do autoplay because of certain policies, at least if it is used in Chrome

  • Really, I don’t think this has a solution...

It shouldn’t work because you don’t have the file in your directory. horse.mp3 and horse.ogg should not exist, makes direct link:

src="https://www.w3schools.com/tags/horse.ogg"

and

src="https://www.w3schools.com/tags/horse.mp3"

Or download to your working directory of the files horse.mp3 and horse.ogg.

  • The file exists, and when I press the button the music plays, the problem is autoplay, if it only works on the PC is good enough for me.
