Description
Description
Currently, we don’t have a way to inform users that autoplay and muted must be enabled together for the video to play. As it stands, if a user enables the autoplay toggle, the video does not play on the frontend unless muted is also enabled.
To improve clarity, it would be helpful to provide users with a short description when they toggle the autoplay switch, informing them that autoplay only works when the video is muted.
Step-by-step reproduction instructions
- Create a new post
- Add a 'Video' block to it
- Upload a video to the block
- Toggle the 'Autoplay' from the right panel
- Click on save and check the post on frontend, notice that the video looks like an image and it doesn't autoplay
- Go back to the editor and on the right panel toggle the 'Muted' switch
- Save the post and check it on the frontend, notice that now the video is playing
