Also if anyone could tell me the easiest way to record screen videos on osx that dont go all blurry on twitter that would be great

I am just working on the easier frontend bits, did most of the hard work and there is a whole team involved, but thanks :)

Thanks for the FYI.
Will it be as in Chrome and Safari? Enabled by default? Managed by some MEI? Do you plan to add a more sane option for video players to know if audible autoplay is allowed?

No MEI as yet, trying to avoid one but would be nice find some way to avoid asking the use in obvious cases. No way to query yet but been discussed

If blocked, will video play muted or just not play? Or will video not play? If it plays muted how does user know there is sound?

I just enabled Block autoplay, but this website still autoplays some random video thisisfutbol.com/2018/07/blogs/ no sound on it though

Yup this only affects video that contains audio that is not muted (or volume=0)
