[Feature] - Configure video / audio autoplay policy in UWP WebView #245

Open danielcondemarin opened 4 years ago

danielcondemarin commented 4 years ago

Describe the problem this feature would solve

When using a WebView in my voice driven UWP app, HTML <video autoplay /> sometimes does not work. The following error is returned when calling HTMLMediaElement.play() method : AbortError

After reading through https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/dev-guide/browser-features/autoplay-policies this could be because there was no previous user gesture made. The problem is in voice driven apps, a "gesture" is not a "click" or a "tap", is a user spoken command.

Describe the solution

I will like to be able to allow autoplay without requiring user-gestures like clicks, taps first. Same to what electronjs already provides via autoplay policy.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Faking a click event in the document, but no luck there so far :/
