You may have noticed the new Pixelfed app autoplays videos in feeds and pauses them as they go out of view, this was really tricky to implement, but, I also added a setting to disable video autoplay in Settings -> Content Preferences.

I copied the big players and used a blurred background with a fixed aspect ratio player to limit height so they look better without any black bars, and muted videos audio by default, until you tap the unmute button.

You have control over this though 🤘
