I think that's a good idea. I had proposed that autoplay-media permissions be exposed as part of the Permisisons API here https://github.com/w3c/permissions/issues/172 which I think would mean that they could be explicitly requested? Google weren't keen on that idea as it doesn't map well to their implicit MEI method. _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
