Comment 32 for bug 1835623

What changed about video and audio playback on version 75 of chrome and chromium?

As I said before any earlier version worked just fine.

In chrome or chromium 75 when I click on any video to play, the moving circle appears and then
freezes instantly, as if it is stopped on purpose.
It may have to do with the process that stops videos from automatically starting until one clicks on the play arrow.
Except in this case clicking on a video is treated as if it were a automatic video start?

I still cannot believe that no one else has reported this issue.

my askubuntu question:
