Auto play audio in Rise?

I know this is an older thread but wanted to let people know that the reasoning behind not auto-playing media is not just because of stricter rules.

For any media to auto-play, means the user/learner is suddenly using data. If they are not on a Wi-Fi network (or for some reasons, have their mobile device set to expend cell/tablet data first), then those are all automatic dings on their data-usage allotment. 

You can see where this might cause issues for the user/learner. If all media auto-plays, and they surpass their data-usage, suddenly they are on the hook for data-overage charges. This in particular is of concern for users/learners who rely solely on their mobile device for internet accessibility, and accessibility towards whatever eLearning content you are creating, which can thus become a concern for the employer.

Ways around it of course, but this is why some developer programs (and some rules/regulation around this exact topic) have been deliberately designed this way (and I believe I recall RISE even stating that was their intent when this first rolled out). I'm not sure of the percentage, but a lot of html 5 stuff is shifting towards that design format as well. Just food for thought.
