[Viki Community] Autoplay on Segment Timer has been turned off

General Discussion

Hello Viki community,

To comply with Google Chrome’s autoplay policy update, we have turned off autoplay on Segment Timer.

What does this mean?
In the past, once you land on Segment Timer of any video, the video will autoplay. This has now been turned off and the video will not play until you click on the play button.

Although this is a Google Chrome policy update, more browsers are moving towards blocking autoplay. Hence this change has been applied to all other browsers as well to cover all bases.

We understand that this might affect productivity for some of you, and we ask for your kind understanding as this is a wider industry standard that we have to meet.

Sincerely,
Viki Community Team

Segging is not my main activity by far, so full-time Segmenters may disagree, but I see it as a very minor thing.
If this was the only thing that “hinders our productivity”, I think we would all be ecstatic.
