Auto-Playback Across Devices (especially iOS)
Blog post from Deepgram
Web developers can improve cross-browser and cross-device audio playback by favoring the HTML audio element over the Web Audio API, particularly because autoplay restrictions are stringent on platforms such as iOS. The discussion recommends initiating playback through user actions to comply with browser policies, using audio sprites and compressed formats to reduce requests and loading time, lazy-loading files, providing accessible volume controls, remembering preferences where appropriate, and regularly testing across browsers, devices, and screen sizes with feature detection and responsive design. It also presents react-nowplaying, a React package intended to simplify these concerns by providing a context-based audio player that can play audio from URLs or Blob data and exposes native playback controls and events.
