These are the prefs we used in 63 Nightly to turn the block autoplay feature on for testing purposes:
// Switch block autoplay logic to v2, and enable UI.
pref("media.autoplay.enabled.user-gestures-needed", true);
// Allow asking for permission to autoplay to appear in UI.
pref("media.autoplay.ask-permission", true);
// Set Firefox to block autoplay, asking for permission by default.
pref("media.autoplay.default", 2); // 0=Allowed, 1=Blocked, 2=Prompt

The current plan is to leave this feature off during the 63 release cycle and turn it on at earliest during the 64 release cycle.

Our current plan is that blocking autoplay will be turned on by default in Fx66.

If this is going to be a temporary enabling for early beta, can you also file a bug to disable this again before 66 release? Thanks.

I am a bit confused here, but AIUI, this has been turned off again, so autoplay will not be blocked in 66 at release? therefore I don't need to add a note about this to the 66 rel notes? If so, how do we know when it will actually me available?
Or have I got this wrong?
Let me know. Thanks!

The pref will be turn on by Normandy, that is a service which is used to control how many user whom we should enable the feature for. We will enable this feature step by step for all users in 66.
However, I have no idea how Normandy works. I assume that there are some people in release engineer team will help us to operate that.

Thanks Alastor; I have added a note at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox/Releases/66#APIs which I hope covers it ;-) We can edit if needs be.
