Can you hear this video? MP4 embed in comment autoplays, but muted - no option to save/enlarge/unmute/open URL in browser (sh.itjust.works)

The above comment embeds this link:

https://files.catbox.moe/x25omr.mp4

Voyager Version: 2.9.1 (just updated and retested)

Also tried turning silent off on the iPhone 14 Pro just in case

PS: aeharding, you the bomb 💙

Edit: I mean to say I can’t use a control on the video to open the video URL in a browser. I was able to use Voyager’s feature to open the specific comment in a browser window though, and there (in Safari) it played with sound and some native iOS controls when I tapped on it.

Video support in comments is currently limited to short reaction GIFs - e.g. no scrubbing/unmuting. As a workaround I recommend linking to videos instead of embedding. In the future this will likely get better :)
