Embeds to certain platforms autoplay, ignoring browser settings #566

Closed fivefivefiver closed 11 months ago

Describe the bug Certain tweets with embeds to podcast hosting services autoplay sound whenever they're loaded into the timeline. This is annoying, because sometimes it's outright impossible to figure out which tweet it is.

Unfortunately, I can't provide more detail than that; it happens rarely enough for me not to spot a pattern and just often enough to be annoying. Can it be possible to somehow prevent iframe embeds in Old Twitter to stop this issue from occurring?

Browser Firefox 117.0.1

OldTwitter version v. 1.8.1.2

There's currently no way to disable iframes, what are the platforms that do this?

It seems to happen with Ed Zitron's (@edzitron) podcast embeds, for instance in the tweet below:

It's happening to me in Firefox on both MacOS and Windows.
