[quote] What’s more annoying, is that it’s muted by default.

And then next time I try to watch a youtube video, I have to manually un-mute it because youtube remembers roblox muting my video. [/quote]

Holy crap, that’s what’s causing that? I was wondering why it was doing that…

Are we really going to do this, ROBLOX? I’m getting sick and tired of being half asleep and then having someone’s shitty video thumbnail playing really loud and waking me up.

Don’t go on loleris’s videos… They are louder than a Cuban and have the worst soundtracks (no offense loleris).

Please? I don’t want to have to rush to pause a tryhard l33t killcam video thumbnail every time I play Phantom Forces

yes please

I consider my speakers / headphones to be sacred grounds where only things I explicitly permit to enter should be there.

When things like video advertisements play I just leave the website because I consider that an attack on my land.

PLEEAAAASSEE. It’d be nice not to wake up my brother because I didn’t foresee a wild garbage step frag video on the page.

Yup, this is definitely something that needs to be fixed/removed.

Extremely annoying.

I found a way to solve this if you’re on Firefox:

  1. Type about:config in your URL
  2. Change media.autoplay.enabled to false (default is true)

If you’re on Chrome, you need to download an Add-On. I don’t use Chrome, but this is what I got from googling: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/disable-html5-autoplay/efdhoaajjjgckpbkoglidkeendpkolai

edit: the Firefox option works (forces the Roblox Youtube Thumbnail to pause)

Hello I have the same opinion. Unless the user explicitly wants to see the video, it should never automatically play.
