Works as of today 09-23-2025. I combine this with a userscript to add the video progress bar at the button of the video so you can skip forward back through the video.

Instagram Video Progressbar + Scrubbing.

Don't use mute option in the script because it currently does not work at least for me. Default doesn't change the mute state.

Made an edit to add that normally there is no permission setting when you click the permission icon for Instagram and you would have to set the permission globally.

When i tried the script that i had ChatGPT write for me then the permission setting was added for Instagram when you click the permissions icon in the address bar so i didn't have to enable auto-play video and audio globally (risky and dangerous). I won't do that. That allowed me to whitelist just Instagram.

Also i thought the scripts i had ChatGPT make was working better with the other script for the progress bar then i started noticing delays with the sound taking a hair longer to enable. I didn't test all the scripts again though. Those scripts was posted in a review of the Script at greasyfork i listed above at greasyfork and i was using tampermonkey but likely to switch back to violentmonkey now that i don't need tampermonkey for just one script that i don't need anymore.

This addon works good so i don't need those other scripts but i may go through testing those userscripts again. The scripts have a bug where the mute icon shows muted when unmuted so it's kind of backwards.

Other scripts i tried before i asked Chatgpt did the weird thing of stopping autoplay of the videos. Worse because i still have to click to play the videos or click to unmute without the userscripts. Part of reason for that was older broken scripts and the other part was the permission setting in the address bar. Make sure not to have more than one auto-play script active at the same time or in combination with this addon.

Anyway this addon works great even in combination of the other progress bar script.

Exactly what I was looking for, good job!!
