      I would like to have the funny monkeys from the MMM-EasyBack YouTube Video but the video does not start automatically and I don’t know how to start manually.
      Thanks for help🙏

        @Stoffbeuteluwe this is due to a new restriction on the browser

        do this

        edit MagicMirror/js/electron.js
        and add the line shown below

        let mainWindow;
        
        function createWindow() {
            app.commandLine.appendSwitch('autoplay-policy', 'no-user-gesture-required');  //< -------- added
        

        save and restart MagicMirror

              @Stoffbeuteluwe show me the few lines.

              I cut pasted from mine.
              Watch. out for the quotes, sometimes paste creates the wrong ones

                I can confirm that this fix DOES work. I installed the newest MM 2.7.1 and the “autostart video” was indeed not working. Many thanks to you, @sdetweil, for saving the day. :thumbsup:

                Here is a screen shot of how the edit should look in case anyone would like a visual.

                        So I’m not sure what’s going on with mine because it won’t autostart. I did all the changes suggested and below is a copy straight out of the MagicMirror/js/electron.js file.

                        I’ve restarted it many times.

                        Before I edited it it had everything there except

                        'autoplay-policy', 'no-user-gesture-required'
                        

                        was

                        "autoplay-policy", "no-user-gesture-required"
                        
                        let mainWindow;
                        
                        function createWindow() {
                            app.commandLine.appendSwitch('autoplay-policy', 'no-user-gesture-required');  //< -------- added
                                var electronOptionsDefaults = {
                                        width: 800,
                                        height: 600,
                                        x: 0,
                                        y: 0,
                                        darkTheme: true,
                                        webPreferences: {
                                                nodeIntegration: false,
                                                zoomFactor: config.zoom
                                        },
                                        backgroundColor: "#000000"
                                };
