1616849 - Collect Picture-in-Picture events in release

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Toolkit :: Video/Audio Controls, task, P1)

Description

[Andreas Bovens [:abovens]]

We should collect Picture-in-Picture events in release so as to get an idea of:

• daily PiP usage in our day-to-day user base
• the feature's impact on retention (Do users that use PiP retain better, and if so, how much better?)

Data review form

1.    Is there or will there be documentation that describes the schema for the ultimate data set in a public, complete, and accurate way? 
Yes, this will be documented in the probe dictionary. 

2.    Is there a control mechanism that allows the user to turn the data collection on and off?
Yes, by opting out of telemetry.

3.    If the request is for permanent data collection, is there someone who will monitor the data over time?
Not permanent data collection. 

4.    Using the category system of data types on the Mozilla wiki, what collection type of data do the requested measurements fall under?
Category 2, Interaction Data. 

5.    Is the data collection request for default-on or default-off?
Default on. 

6.    Does the instrumentation include the addition of any new identifiers (whether anonymous or otherwise; e.g., username, random IDs, etc. See the appendix for more details)?
No new identifiers. 

7.    Is the data collection covered by the existing Firefox privacy notice? 
Yes. 

8.    Does there need to be a check-in in the future to determine whether to renew the data? 
Check in at version 78.

9.    Does the data collection use a third-party collection tool?

Beta/Release Uplift Approval Request

• User impact if declined: None, but then we don't get Telemetry on Picture-in-Picture on the release channel until Firefox 75.
• Is this code covered by automated tests?: Yes
• Has the fix been verified in Nightly?: Yes
• Needs manual test from QE?: No
• If yes, steps to reproduce:
• List of other uplifts needed: None
• Risk to taking this patch: Low
• Why is the change risky/not risky? (and alternatives if risky): This patch only changes opt-out settings for some probes in Events.yaml, Histograms.json and Scalars.yaml, and doesn't change any of the functionality.
• String changes made/needed: None
