Microsoft’s Edge and Google’s Chrome browsers can take advantage of innovations in media playback when it comes to videos embedded in Internet sites, ensuring that those clips don’t start playing until they’re visible. Or, at least, that is the goal of Microsoft, founded on the probable ongoing paintings in Chromium, the open source engine for Edge and Chrome (as well as other Internet browsers).
Microsoft’s proposed replacement would cause media playback to pause while a video has not yet fully played on a specific page. Currently, you may find yourself in a situation where an online page is still loading (and an embedded video hasn’t made the impression yet), but you start playing and you get audio without a picture.
With Microsoft’s update, the video will pause while the browser is still displaying the internet page and video clip, and it may not play until everything is in place (and the video is displayed on the screen). Obviously, this is a much better way to work, as supposedly the audio won’t stream out of “nowhere” for a short period of time before the embedded video appears in the browser.
This problem arises due to the way media is integrated into Internet sites (or Internet applications), the most common being “iframes”. . “‘ on the original web page, and that content would possibly be temporarily hidden on the main website.
This series of occasions causes the sound of an embedded video to play before the frame portion of the video is processed, which can be confusing or confusing; you may even think your PC has a problem.
Microsoft’s proposal to achieve this is to introduce a new policy for Chromium on how iframe media playback works. Basically, the policy determines whether the embedded video (the iframe) has been rendered, and if not, the video clip (audio and visual elements). ) is paused while the rendering procedure continues. Playback will only start when everything has been fully rendered and the video clip has given the impression in the browser.
This incoming update for Chromium was spotted via Windows Latest, but it’s still early days for this potential solution from Microsoft. Developing and implementing the feature in Edge and Chrome (or other internet browsers) may take some time, and will also need to be tested before releasing the final versions of those browsers.
We’ll possibly see this feature in testing in a few months, so keep your hands crossed. I can also see how this can make browsing more fun and less distracting, especially if a web page has multiple videos embedded. The good news is that not only Microsoft Edge users will benefit, but also other people running other Chromium-based browsers, as we mentioned.
