Also volume control on mobile is completely broken.
You cannot easily control the volume until the video starts playing; not even when the video is still loading.

- jessriedel 9y agoYea, it is such weird behavior. I can count the number of times I've ever wanted to adjust the volume of the ringer, rather than just turn it on/off, on one hand. Luckily on newer version of Android there is always an option to quickly access the media volume after you press the volume button once, but it's still unintuitive.
- mtpn 9y agoWindows phone nailed this. As you change volume, a panel comes in with two sliders: one media, one ringer, so if you were in the wrong context and changed the wrong volume, you right away have access to the other one. I find (on iOS now) I fiddle with the ringer volume a lot throughout the day. Loudest possible is waaaay too loud for me, unless I’m in a noisy place.
- pflats 9y agoGood news: iOS changed the default behavior of the side buttons: they always control system/media volume now. (Unless you flip a switch in settings.)
