Stop the Twitch auto play

Post by lolzelig » Tue Apr 12, 2022 10:24 pm

Why is it automatically playing Twitch streams now? :banghead:
Are you promoting a channel? If not, then stop putting it in people's ears and eyes if all they want to do is browse the site.
Stop the auto play or at the very least, mute the stream shown. :agressive:

Thanks for the report!
The stream is muted by default. I've just double checked it in the latest version of chrome. Muted for me. In which browser you're getting this issue?
As for the autoplay, yes, I'm promoting that channel. The stream is shown on the main page only and only when the stream is actually live.

Checked this in the Firefox and it's muted for me as well. However, it seems the browser remembers the sound on/off state, so if you enabled the sound for similar embed elsewhere, it could be on by default. I've disabled the autoplay for now.
