Steps to reproduce:

I played online chess on websites such as chess.com, lichess.org, etc. (The website itself doesn't matter as long as there are audio cues)

Actual results:

The "Playing" text displays on a tab in response to an audio cue, over and over again as chess move are made. This has no use other than to distract the player, and there seems to be no real way to disable it.

Expected results:

While this is not necessarily a bug, it is an annoyance for every browser task that involves repeated sounds, and the "Playing" text was clearly only meant for media playback.
There should be a way to disable it and the speaker icon to the left of it.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Audio/Video: Playback' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

Component: Untriaged → Audio/Video: Playback
Product: Firefox → Core
Summary: I play a lot of online chess and the "Playing" text displays on the tab every time a move is made due to an audio cue, and by constantly disappearing and reappearing it tends to get distracting over time. → Distractive "Playing" text in tab displayed every time a chess move is made on a chess website
