autoplayed
Began without input
Autoplayed is the past tense of autoplay, describing media that began playing without the user initiating it.
Videos and audio that autoplay start automatically when a page loads or when previous content ends: The ad autoplayed before I could find the mute button.
The feature is common on streaming platforms and social media, often to mixed reception.
