if I may nitpick the current impl (testing on desktop firefox), with autoplay disabled, the volume icon shows as muted but unmutes when play is pressed. if I want to mute a video before playing it, I have to click the volume icon twice - the first "unmutes" it (a nop), and the second mutes for real

oh whoops, I guess that’s a regression. didn’t test super thoroughly with autoplay off.

Samuel sorry no offense but you sound very mobile-brained, autoplay and no volume slider use and all

simply an observation; from my experience, desktop users often prefer no autoplay & frequently rely on volume sliders in videos I do really appreciate the quick response to the volume slider requests & even making the scale properly logarithmic!

I don't mind it sometimes, and at least it starts out muted (just a bit more data but that's not a big problem at home), sometimes it really is more convenient. Volume sliders are an absolute must though, since I often have other audio in the background, such as a Discord call or a game.
