Bug ID: 176282
Summary: autoplay hidden video element with MediaStream src
that has audio track
Product: WebKit
Version: Safari Technology Preview
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: Normal
Priority: P2
Component: WebRTC
Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
Reporter: ben.browitt at gmail.com

Hidden video element with live MediaStream src from a PeerConnection don't play even when there is an audio track.
Even if the video is changed to visible it is still paused unless there is a new visible video element that starts playing.
The use case is a web conference app with multiple speakers. The dominant speaker is presented in the center (stage).
Other speakers can still speak but are not visible (hidden video element).
The app automatically promotes new dominant speaker to the stage when needed.
I understand the autoplay policy for normal video elements but for a live WebRTC conference this is really limiting.
