How to handle Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: The play() request was interrupted by a call to pause()
For Chrome they changed autoplay policy, so you can read about here:
var promise = document.querySelector('audio').play();if (promise !== undefined) { promise.then(_ => { // Autoplay started! }).catch(error => { // Autoplay was prevented. // Show a "Play" button so that user can start playback. });}
I don't know if this is still actual for you, but I still leave my comment so maybe it will help somebody else.I had same issue, and the solution proposed by @dighan on bountysource.com/issues/solved it for me.
So here is the code that solved my problem:
var media = document.getElementById("YourVideo");const playPromise = media.play();if (playPromise !== null){ playPromise.catch(() => { media.play(); })}It still throws an error into console, but at least the video is playing :)
Try using a callback like this with the catch block.
document.getElementById("audio").play().catch(function() { // do something});
