<whine>videos that autoplay but sound turned off </whine>

Scrabble around to stop, find the mute, rewind, restart. 4 fussy friction-filled taps or clicks. Devs do something… my new favorite whine. Is there a channel for UX/UI wishlists?

I think browsers prevent autoplay with sound on

So is the better move to just not have videos autoplay?

(Ignoring native mobile apps for a sec)

I like the latter approach

Feels least “gimmicky”

Yeah early days of sound-on autoplay were terrible, esp if at work or library lol

Prob have both with same setting is the answer: no autoplay+no mute

Power+responsibility in the user’s hand
