On the Homepage (http://www.thera-play.co/) there's a background video that doesn't play on Chrome, but does play on Firefox. (The video used to play fine in both browsers. I'm not sure when it stopped working.)
There's also H1 text that reads, "BUILD YOUR CHILD'S CONFIDENCE". The text shows on Chrome, but not Firefox. Thank you for any help!
This was fixed and is due to the Chrome Autoplay policy.
Please update to Salient Theme Version 9.0 and Salient WPBakery Page Builder 5.5.2 .
If you are not seeing the Plugin Update Notification you need to uncheck the " Disable Theme Reccomended Plugin Notifications " Field in "Salient Theme Options Panel" -> General Settings -> "Toggle Theme Features" Section .
Updating today didn't work for me, the homepage header video still didn't autoplay. After some research I found that Chrome will autoplay videos if they are Muted, so if the video element has the property 'muted'. Adding this in my <head> did the trick for me:

That worked. Thank you!

<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
