Actually what is the best way to show an #MP4 video in #HTML #container?
Regarding:
- sizing #CSS max-block-size: 100dvh; max-inline-size: 100dvw;
- #autoplay, #controls, #thumbnail handling, #center #alignment, maybe #npm? #JS
Thank you for let me know!

OK

While we're on the subject of #Threads critiques, in every case I've seen, #Videos are #Autoplay, endlessly repeating, and there's no way to stop them other than to scroll past

Scroll past quickly

@Walmart What the hell is wrong with you guys? Why do you think that auto-playing video is okay? For the first time today I click on one of your products and a video immediately plays.

Do you realize that some of us may be browsing your products in places where we have to be quiet?

I guess not.

In 2023, it is not rocket science to keep videos from auto-playing.

You've lost a sale because of this. Bravo!

Seriously, what is the thought process behind #autoplay videos on websites? I clicked a text article. Presumably, I am therefore interested in reading this article. Who thinks it is a good idea to begin playing a video for a /completely different/ piece of content? How does this even make sense?

Why isn’t there a way to turn off #autoplay for #ParamountPlus in the browser or computer app? It‘s so effing annoying! 😖
🤔 On #Windows (11) at least. Because when I was watching P+ on my #iMac, it was actually turned off. I‘m #confused!

You heard that right! Now video autoplay is disabled by default. No more getting startled by unexpected, loud autoplay videos while browsing.

#Autoplay can be toggled back on in the Site Settings.

Does anyone actually like “#autoplay” on video or audio services? I always turn it off immediately.

I feel slightly bad straight up blocking people who upload flashing gifs, but I don't seem to have an option to disable auto play on mobile, so, too bad. #autoplay #mastodon

Ok #iPhone, would you please stop this stupid #autoplay in Podcasts? It‘s not like I haven‘t been in the settings to switch this off a hundred times. I hate autoplay. Hate it! So stop it finally! 🤬

#Accessibility tip: #GIF and #video #autoplay, at the absolute bare minimum, must be easily disabled across your entire site.

Any playing GIF or video must be able to be stopped with a single click/tap. If you can’t do that, disable autoplay entirely until you can.

For videos specifically, if a person has opted in to autoplay there must also be a site-wide setting to choose whether or not videos autoplay with sound.

And finally, if you’re really serious about accessibility, autoplay and autoplay with sound are both strictly opt-in settings.

Meta is being sued for allegedly knowing that videos were being spread to teenagers including about dieting, eating disorders, and suicide. Young adults who were affected are lobbying Congress along with parents who have lost children @jeff #Moderating #SocialMedia #60minutes #CBS #autoplay #advertising #BuildSafeTech #TechnicallyPolitics

I think I got addicted to Auto-play #games, but I never spent a cent on them, and this new free-to-play game "Summoner Wars: Chronicles" on #Steam is giving me some good times.

Good thing is that I can work and let the game doing the boring grinding for me, and I manually play just the good parts like PvP, events, etc 😅

Das Thema ist mir von einem Leser zugespült worden - wie regelt ihr das mit den GPOs? #AutoPlay GPO zum Sperren macht Probleme

Weekend poll: Do you leave autoplay enabled in apps?

Almost all the #socialnetwork #socialmedia stopped pushing #autoplay #video because it wasn't right to force people to do things.
#Steam was right to force people to do things. Steam completely blocked #autoplayvideo. Nvm, quite likely Steam don't know how to make website.

#Firefox 69 brings changes to Enhanced #Tracking Protection, Block #Autoplay, #Flash content handling and more https://techhelpkb.com/firefox-69-0-released/ via @techhelpkb

https://mathr.co.uk/harmonic-protocol/ My latest drone piece now works in Chromium and Google Chrome. In those browsers you have to press the button to make sound because of #web #audio #autoplay #restrictions . In Mozilla Firefox it plays automatically.

If the sound stutters, your machine is not powerful enough. Probably needs a laptop rather than a phone. Or try compiling the #C (using the #SDL2 library for audio) source code natively, which is typically at least twice as CPU-efficient.
