Unmute Twitch player by default

Recent versions of Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers may block websites from playing audio automatically. The video player on Twitch, for example, is muted by default. Fortunately, this can be changed by adjusting the website’s permissions.

  1. Open Site Settings from the address bar
Site settings in Chrome
Site settings in Chrome
Site settings in Chrome
Site settings in Chrome
  1. Find the Sound permission and change Automatic (default) to Allow
Website permission in Chrome
Website permission in Chrome
Website permission in Chrome
Website permission in Chrome

That’s it! The Twitch player will now be unmuted by default. Also, notice how this isn’t necessary for YouTube 😈
