For embedding a video file there are three options: 1: start manually, 2: start automatically and 3: start automatically if visible. I want to start with option 2 or 3 but in Chrome I always have to start the video manually. Any thought on this or suggestions?

Hello Rene,
The autoplay policy in Chrome is determined by Google developers. At the time of writing videos are not permitted to autoplay in Chrome unless they are muted.
You can find full details here:
Chrome - Autoplay policy changes

(It > En) ... in addition to Paul, ... if there is an Audio track, AutoPlay is always inhibited in "mobile" devices, as it is also mentioned in the Guide! .. ... and currently by convention, it is also inhibited in many current browsers ...

Thanks Paul and KolAsim for your answer. I will get in to it. Funny though... my MP4 file is muted, there is no soundtrack in it whatsoever.
... eventually you can use the simple <AUDIO> tag (copy/paste) with the HTML Code Object and with the >muted< attribute...
ciao
