Perhaps audio-free videos should be allowed in <img> tags
- pavlov 7y agoI'd support that (as if anyone's asking me...) on three conditions: 1) Maximum duration of, say, 10 s (with mandatory looping) 2) Maximum display size of, say, 25% viewport area 3) Browsers must enforce "Click to stop" on these "video-img" elements even if there are other DOM elements on top.
- TheCoreh 7y agoIf none of these conditions apply to gifs, why should they apply to videos in img tags?
- jodrellblank 7y agoBecause we can't change the past, but we can improve the future.
- masklinn 7y agoAudio-free videos are often allowed to autoplay (though you may need to flag them as muted as well). TFA'a video autoplay just fine in both Safari and Firefox.
- vincentriemer 7y agoI believe that this is the case on Safari, don't know about any other browsers though
