Steps to reproduce:
- Create a new profile and open a yt video page.
- Modify the permissions to allow Audio and Video to autoplay.
- Open a video in a private window. If the video autoplays, refresh the page.
Actual results:
Although I have permitted videos from yt to autoplay in a normal window, they didn't autoplay in a private one.
Expected results:
I expected private windows to respect the permissions that have been set through a non-private window.
This is a regression, v73 in release channel seems to be fine, but I wasn't able to find the regression window (ie. the v73 that mozregression gives me is bad and I couldn't find a good one).

:tgnff242, if you think that's a regression, then could you try to find a regression range in using for example mozregression?

This is intended behavior. We want to isolate permissions between private browsing and normal windows. See Bug 1422056.
You can control this via the pref permissions.isolateBy.privateBrowsing which defaults to true on pre-release channels.
