Automatic video playback on any social network or platform has always been one of the aspects that many users choose to disable, since they involve a large amount of data. Obviously, if our data rate is comfortable, we will not have any problem with this function, a feature that will soon be on the Play Store.
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram ... are some of the social networks that automatically play videos when we get to the publication that contains it. In a few weeks, probably later this month, the Play Store it will automatically start playing the videos of the applications that contain it.
The guys from XDA Developers have had access to a Play Store support website, where they have started testing to add automatic video playback during the month of September. The promotional videos of applications available on YouTube and found in many applications, they will start playing automatically when the app is visited.
On that support page, Google does not detail when the application's video will begin to play, nor does it inform about whether it will play silently or if this function it can be deactivated if we use mobile data, although it is most likely.
In recent weeks, Google is pushing developers to include promotional videos in your applications, videos that must have monetization on YouTube disabled and that also do not infringe copyright under any circumstances.
The reason for disabling monetization is to prevent ads from confusing users and prevent an ad from showing instead of the video in question when the application details are visited. The ads for these videos must be deactivated before November 1.
