            Bug ID: 216887
           Summary: Low Power mode is disabling video autoplay
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Safari 14
          Hardware: iPhone / iPad
                OS: iOS 13
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Platform
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: sean at wandrnow.com

Video elements which are set to autoplay either via the autoplay attribute or through javascript will throw an error when an iOS device is in low power mode. 

`Unhandled Promise Rejection: NotAllowedError: The request is not allowed by the user agent or the platform in the current context, possibly because the user denied permission.`

This issue is not present if the device is in 'normal' mode, not low power mode.

I am using webkit through Capacitor on iOS
