Block media autoplay until in foreground

Ahmed

Hi,

Latest RC Version 0.99.109.1.5-beta (WebKit 613.1.12),
I was wondering if it was possible to only 'autoplay' when the content is made active,

Example (allow autoplay on YouTube) and open a video in a new tab, the video will start playing even if you aren't in that tab; Safari for example only plays the video when you get into the tab.

Regards,

Vlad

Ahmed We keep Safari's behavior as it is often useful to save battery on laptops.

Ahmed

Vlad Yes, I get that; but safari plays the video only when the tab's active; Orion play it even if you aren't yet in the tab if auto play is enabled..

Vlad

Ahmed Oh I misread, thanks!

Ahmed

Vlad No worries))

Hi, any chances to have this on iOS? Or do we have it already and I’m just missing it?
