Auto play videos on sites?? 👀
Do you guys like the concept of having an autoplay video on any site you visit ⁉️
Personally, I find it to be in a grey area.. 😶🌫️
What do you think?? ⁉️🤔

I too find the concept of autoplay videos somewhat irksome, particularly when they come with unexpected sound-blast! 😅 However, consider it from a user-engagement standpoint, it could prove beneficial. Some might find it intriguing and stay longer on the site. Yet, I agree there needs to be a balance or some control in the user's hand. Like a mute option by default perhaps? 🤔🔇
@builov84 Yep, I agree that they are effective from the marketers POV. But at the same time having the control on when and how the user wants to access the information also matters.
My suggestions will be Default mute, interactive GIFs, or even CTA buttons letting the user know that they can also play the video for more info.
Gee, absolutely hate it. Especially if they are so annoyingly invasive that when your scroll down, picture-in-picture pops up
@naou UFFF! That's another level of misery.😶🌫️ It makes browsing so damn annoying! 😐
Not a big fan. Especially when the sound is on and my speakers are on pretty high volume.
@arzmn I suggest using silent GIFs or like short animations. I think they look great and are way better! 😄
If without sound, I can accept. However, I always like to be in control of what happens on the browser (both audio/video) so I'm not a huge fan of autoplay.
@kingromstar I checked out both the side but none of them were auto played so that's fine by me just the ones that randomly start playing are the ones I find annoying! 😐😅
I've always found the concept of autoplay videos on websites to be a bit of a mixed bag. While they can sometimes be informative, I prefer having the choice to play a video when I'm ready, rather than it playing automatically. It's definitely a grey area, and I lean more towards the "not a fan" side. 🙅♂️
@dan_burns 100% true.
I'm sure that people put in a lot of efforts in the videos and they do coney information in an easier manner.
But I should see that information only when I ask for it otherwise it's like giving unwanted noise.
Big fan of doing it for Taskade AI but we have had our fair share of complaints too!
