* iOS Safari is just your said. * And also, Chrome for Android disable autoplay. He need activation to play Audio/Video But he can autoplay when user enable flags `diable-gesture-requirement-for-media-playback` in `chrome://flags/`. * I have not tested IE10 for WindowsPhone 8 yet. > AFAIK its not widely used (yet). Yes. Autoplaying media elements is not widely used yet. I guess its reasons is almost major mobile browsers don't support it by default, and the fact that mobile traffic is very narrow. Of course video & audio would make web more richness as the interactive element. Autoplayed them might be efficiently. However, It's very harder to control embedded media elements on mobile. This is bad for usability (and accessibility). Providing controls maybe discussed on web development, not on browser. But on mobile we should discuss about it on browser layer once. I propose again that, we disable "autoplay" feature of HTMLMediaElement on mobile, and provide some permission system for autoplay. -- Tetsuharu OHZEKI [email protected] _______________________________________________ mobile-firefox-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/mobile-firefox-dev
