Videos no longer autoplay in Safari 16 (MacOS)

Post by zorinlynx »

After upgrading to Safari 16 on my Mac videos no longer autoplay when viewing events. I just get a play button that I have to click to start playback.

Running 1.36.25 and using Camera Passthrough storage. I confirmed an un-updated Mac running Safari 15 still autoplay so it must be Safari doing something different.

Anyone else run into this and found a solution yet?

I don't have a mac, but other browsers I've used...
They probably changed the autoplay default. Especially if you're using http://.
There may be an override, possibly near the address bar.

Nope, far as I can tell Autoplay videos is still on for my Zoneminder site.

I also tried turning off all content blocking, still doesn't autoplay.

Yes, autoplay is broken in Safari 16, and its still broken in 1.37.
