Audio autostart
Forgot to mention - on most phone browsers, they actually prevent auto-play of media. It needs to be user-initiated.
Some social media sites have auto-play of video, and the user needs to interact to initiate the audio. That might be something to consider, at least as an option, as it helps to draw the user in.

Good point Dawn, like how Facebook and Instagram will start playing the videos as you scroll over them, but not start the audio without a click. I only use the apps myself, so I just took a look at videos within Facebook while viewing in a Safari mobile browser and they didn't auto play (audio or video). So it seems like something they're able to control in app only?

Exactly, Ashley. I'm not sure what makes it work, but I think it's pretty cool when I see it :)
