Check to see whether or not media can be auto-played in the browser

---

Create an <audio> element pointing to (e.g.) a short clip of silence and then call its play method. That method returns a Promise, which can be watched for success or failure. For example:

const audio = document.createElement("audio")
audio.src = "https://example.com/path/to/silence.mp3"

audio
  .play()
  .then(() => {
    console.log("Autoplay works!")
  })
  .catch(() => {
    console.log("Autoplay doesn't work.")
  })
