Ok, I had enough. @peakd @asgarth this is for you guys.
Whenever I scroll though a snap with video, the video starts to play on its own. It's annoying. Can we get an update and make the playing optional? I mean if anyone's interested, can click on it and watch.
Can you reliably reproduce this issue?
Others have reported the same but I've never been able to see it myself.
By default no videos should autoplay on PeakD.
How? Tell me how and I'll do it
I guess try to identify a specific snap where the video always autoplay.
Yes, these ones

YouTube videos not autoplaying, only this type of video and usually skaters are uploading these.
maybe take a small video of the issue and post it? I did see those skater video’s playing automatically, didn’t notice the sound though.
If you have the sound muted, you won't. If the video starts playing automatically, the sound is playing as well. Logical.

This video too, this is recent.
I totally agree!
Maybe you should try it on the snapie app, they fixed this issue. But yeah that is a standard thing that should be happening by default. At the very least video should be stopped and or muted by default, and sound should fade away if watching and scroll away.
I'm not gonna try it on snappy app. I'm using peakd and it should not autoplay the video.
why not, what do you have against snapie app? I think you would find it a superior snaps viewing experience, and it was developed by a trusted community member @meno too so it’s really safu, only uses posting key and never sends it online.
I know very well who who was the app developed by, but I don't need another app on my phone for something I rarely use.
I don't understand why you want to convince me to do an extra step for something that should be fixed.
I'm not trying to convince you to do anything, it was just a helpful suggestion. I happened to be using the snappie app when I saw your snap. Honestly after this conversation I don't think the snapie app is right for you so I take it back, you shouldn't try it. Never mind.
It is a bug for sure, the peakd guys are more than happy to fix it, if they get the necessary details, I'm sure of that, yet here's I am, wasting my time explaining to you why I don't want to further complicate my life if it's not necessary.
I agree it should not auto play any videos unless configured to do so from the settings. I personally like the video to autoplay, but not the sound. Imagine if multiple videos autoplay from different snaps, this could hurt performance, crash your browser, not to mention be real annoying.
It happens to me in mobile. But I didn't notice it in pc.
