I have 2 computers side by side. they are both running the same version of Brave. I have both set to the same youtube video as the homepage. One autoplays the video when I launch Brave, as I want to happen, the other does not. I can not figure out why or which setting could have been clicked. It worked fine a few months ago.

(https://www.youtube.com/) does not matter which video you click, its all the same issue.

Did the issue present with default Shields settings? (yes/no) Yes

Does the site function as expected when Shields are turned off? no

Is there a specific Shields configuration that causes the site to break? If so, tell us that configuration. (yes/no): no idea

Does the site work as expected when using Chrome? no, videos dont autoplay in chrome when set to be the homepage

Brave version (check About Brave): Brave 1.80.120 (Official Build) (64-bit)
