Chrome's autoplay policies changed in April of 2018 https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/09/autoplay-policy-changes

Google Chrome will not allow autoplay video. If you want to auto play then you have to mute video. As per policy guidelines.

FireFox browser Google Chrome

// This code loads the IFrame Player API code asynchronously.
var tag = document.createElement('script');

tag.src = "https://www.youtube.com/iframe_api";
var firstScriptTag = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
firstScriptTag.parentNode.insertBefore(tag, firstScriptTag);

//    This function creates an <iframe> (and YouTube player)
//    after the API code downloads.
var player;
function onYouTubeIframeAPIReady() {
    player = new YT.Player('player', {
        height: '390',
        width: '640',
        videoId: 'M7lc1UVf-VE',
        events: {
            'onReady': onPlayerReady
        }
    });
}

//  The API will call this function when the video player is ready.
function onPlayerReady(event) {
    player.setPlaybackRate(2);
    event.target.playVideo();
}

<div id="player"></div>
