Bugzilla

@Alastor Absolutely agree that what you have done is a good thing, and that it makes it easier for developers to detect the autoplay policy on page load (or at some later point that they want to play their content that might otherwise be blocked).

My only concern was that autoplay policy can change after that point was that there is no way to know if your previously set policy might reasonably need to change again. I guess that is very much an edge case.

And yes, you're right about the last point; I'm not sure where I drew the inference that you might have video with no audio track.

Thanks again.

My only concern was that autoplay policy can change after that point, and since you don't know about that, you can't reevaluate whether any configuration you did to make the content autoplay is still appropriate. I guess that is very much an edge case.

The docs are pretty simple - you can see them here: https://github.com/mdn/content/pull/23978

Thanks again.
