A way to have new users unmuted by default?

[mbattista]

For me, the video is always unmuted when I login via the login screen, but is always muted when I reload or use an autojoin link.

I tried to unmute the video after an fixed time instead of a click and got this error from chrome:

Unmuting failed and the element was paused instead because the user didn't interact with the document before. https://goo.gl/xX8pDD

So this is an browser feature which cannot be avoided. The "Autoplay Policy" dictates that the user has to interact with the page before a sound can be played, even on a reload of the page.

But we try to handle the reconnects better #48 , which will hopefully lead to less reloads required.

Thank you! @mbattista

After reconnects the page itself does not reload, so it should be able to keep unmuted. I'll look into it.
