I got an auto-playing ad on the side-bar, with sound, on just the page load. It played this media:

@elheber: And if you catch a screenshot of it next time, that'd be super helpful. Thanks!

@wemmick: Here's a question. If I edit in an @ reply in my post, do you get the notification? It's probably not important but I just wanted to be sure you got my reply.

@elheber: I believe it will send just one notification if you @-reply. I don't think edits will send further notifications. Thanks for the screenshot!

@wemmick: Here's an update that may or may not be necessary. The same ad auto-played again in another page, except this time the video was frozen (the audio played) and there were no controls for me to mute it. I clicked on it to see if the video controls popped up, but it just opened another window and kept playing. I had to exit the page entirely.

More info is probably not necessary, but I just had to let you know this ad took it to the next level.

I'm running vanilla Chrome, no extensions other than Google Docs. It opened a new tab to this page:
