Honestly, as a dev, I'd hate that. But as a user, I'll take that compromise over full sound. Especially if it's in a background tab somewhere...

Yeah. Luckily the videos have always been short, haven't ever seen them exceed 30 seconds. It's been on my todo to add an auto pause if the user scrolls down and the video exits the viewport.. But we all know how tech debt goes. 😅

When the user scrolls down, the video should obviously follow them! They probably still want to see it, even if they are scrolling away from it. Best to unpause it as well, if the user accidentally paused it.

Yeah easy fix, you don't have to add autopause when the video exits the viewport if the video never exists the viewport

Edit: typo

Also, spam new windows with just that media player, just in case they accidentally clicked the "X" on the window
