Microsoft Edge Mobile - Autoplay Policy

Hello everyone.

 

Recently, during my work I found a strange problem with the mobile version of Microsoft Edge (103.0.1264.77)

 

In our React project, we implemented a functionality - scanning barcodes and QR codes. We use the react-qr barcode scanner npm package. We found that only in the mobile version of Edge our functionality does not work.

 

After analyzing, we found that this error is due to the AutoPlay policy:

 

In chrome, on the other hand, we have these settings by default and everything works fine:

Is there any solution to this problem or posibility to changing this settings?

    We're currently experimenting with changing our policy to be the same as Chrome's. To see if this fixes your issue, try using Edge Dev, where you should see this change land in a week or so.
