Ok. I can't seem to be able to regenerate the draft... But, I have 
addressed your feedback and updated the chrome status feature page where 
necesary. Thanks for the tip about the webtests. I will try to do it soon. 
Thanks for the feedback!

*TAG review request*: https://github.com/w3ctag/design-reviews/issues/1084

*Goals for experimentation*:
Gather feedback from web developers and validate that the current prototype 
implementation works as expected. We have added telemetry to measure how 
the feature is being exercised by users:
- HTMLMediaElement's: 
  - # of pauses while hidden 
  - # of pauses because got hidden during playback 
- WebAudio AudioContext's
  - # of interruptions while hidden
  - # of interruptions because got hidden during playback

*Experiment milestones*: M137

Generally looks good, but there's a few things to tidy up...

Specification None 

Summary 

Adds a "media-playback-while-not-rendered" permission policy to allow 
embedder websites to pause media playback of embedded iframes which aren't 
rendered - i.e. have their "display" property set to "none". This should 
allow developers to build more user-friendly experiences and to also 
improve the performance by letting the browser handle the playback of 
content that is not visible to users.

TAG review None


It might be worth filing this now to get feedback early. (Not a blocker for 
approving the I2E.)

Risks 


Interoperability and Compatibility 

This feature is still being discussed with other browser vendors and the 
shape and functionality might not be final.


*Gecko*: No signal (https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/
1082) 

*WebKit*: No signal (https://github.com/WebKit/
standards-positions/issues/409) 

*Web developers*: Positive (https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/10208) 
The web community seems to be interested in this feature, even though we 
may need to iterate on the user-facing API. 

*Other signals*: 

Ergonomics 

This feature will be used with other audio rendering API's, like 
HTMLMediaElement and Web Audio. This new behavior should only take effect 
if web pages explicitly opt-in by overriding the permission policy's 
default state. Moreover, once the permission policy is used, it should help 
Chromium to be more optimized by pausing audio rendering for content that 
is not visible for the user.


Activation 

Developers need to opt-in by setting "allow" property of an iframe. For 
example: <iframe src="https://foo.media.com"; 
allow="media-playback-while-not-visible 
'none'"></iframe>


WebView application risks 

Does this intent deprecate or change behavior of existing APIs, such that 
it has potentially high risk for Android WebView-based applications?

None


Goals for experimentation 



Due to https://github.com/GoogleChrome/chromium-dashboard/issues/4155 
(please upvote), this field gets lost when generating emails in Chrome 
Status. Could you copy it over for us?
 


Ongoing technical constraints 

None


Debuggability 

None


Will this feature be supported on all six Blink platforms (Windows, Mac, 
Linux, ChromeOS, Android, and Android WebView)? Yes 

Is this feature fully tested by web-platform-tests 
<https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/docs/testing/web_platform_tests.md>
? Yes 

We have implemented Blink webtests. But they are not WPT's yet. - 
https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:
third_party/blink/web_tests/media/media-playback-while-
not-visible-permission-policy-cant-play-if-hidden.html?q=
third_party%2Fblink%2Fweb_tests%2Fmedia%2Fmedia-playback-while-not-visible-
permission-policy-cant-play-if-hidden.html&ss=chromium%2Fchromium%2Fsrc -
https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:
third_party/blink/web_tests/media/media-playback-while-
not-visible-permission-policy-pause-when-hidden.html


You can move these into web platform tests as long as you use the 
.tentative naming scheme 
<https://web-platform-tests.org/writing-tests/file-names.html>. (Not 
blocking for the I2E.)
