Auto-play is not considered accessible under WCAG 2.1. It interferes with screen readers horribly and will drive some of your neurodiverse learners crazy. Please don't bring this feature to fruition.

Hi Crystal, has "media autoplay" been removed from the roadmap??? I know that it was added as "planned."
