Also, give out old phones with old software... if you want to target 90% of the smartphone population, optimize for whatever phone (performance-wise) is in the 10th worst percentile. Also do bandwidth testing on slower speeds... 120mb autoplaying video on mobile is stupid, but stuff like that appears way too often, because noone tests it outside of newest phones on highest speeds possible.
- kps 3y agoThis isn't even hard — desktop Chrome dev tools quite prominently provide emulation of mobile screen sizes and bandwidth throttling.
- grishka 3y agoTo be fair, any autoplaying video is stupid. The whole concept was invented to inflate metrics and manipulate user behavior for the benefit of the app/site owner.
- HeatrayEnjoyer 3y agoDon't browsers block auto video by default?
- grishka 3y agoThey do but only if it's with sound on. I really wish there was a browser that would simply treat <video> as an unknown tag unless you explicitly allow that particular website to play video.
- qingcharles 3y agoThis. I used to buy old cellphones on eBay to test with to prove that stuff worked OK on really shitty hardware. p.s. please everyone: factory reset your phones before you sell them :)
