Ignore my previous suggestion, it did not work for long, can’t watch any videos again.
very frustrating !!

Hi I have been having same issue, Safari 17.6. Today while I was viewing this page I hit safari on top left (did not exit forums) and on the drop down menu there was a “setting for community HSN” I selected that option and there was an option on the drop down menu to “allow all auto play” which I did and it worked for me, you could try that, hope it works for others!
