The chrome developer team disabled the autoplay feature to avoid irritation among users because of the automatic video play. You can enable it by the following steps:

  1. Opening a Chrome browser and typing: chrome://flags/#autoplay-policy
  2. Changing the "Autoplay policy" from "Default" to "No user gesture is required"
  3. Pressing "relaunch"
  4. Rebooting the device

From now on autoplay works again in webview components used in your app.
