From the "Best Practices for Web Developers" section:
It’s worth pointing out that the new auto-play policies apply both to video used as a tool for making something visual happen (like background video or video-as-animated-gif) and also to video that serves as consumable content. We recommend web developers test their site with these new behaviors, ensuring any custom media controls behave correctly when auto-play is disabled, either automatically by Safari or by users.
I.e. you now need to verify that your site still looks good and works well when background video auto-play has been denied.
- atomwaffel 9y agoAlthough one might argue that there's something seriously wrong with your website already if it doesn't work without video playing in the background. According to the article, blacklisting (or lack of whitelisting) is also easy to detect by handling the Promise rejection, which means you can easily provide a static fallback for video that's used purely decoratively.
