Right now click-to-play of videos is quite cumbersome and has poor
usability. For example on youtube, this is what I observe on Medium
Security.
* On first page load, no video or audio is visible -- the video box is
gray. A "musical notes" icon appears in the middle of the video box, and
an "orbiting dots" indicator seems to indicate some problem loading. After
a few seconds the video box goes black and it says "an error occured."
Then after another few seconds the "musical notes" icon reappears.
* If I click on the "musical notes" icon, then a confirmation box appears,
that says "Temporarily allow ... [URLs and codec gibberish]". If I click
OK, then the whole page reloads. Again I get a gray video box with
orbiting dots. This time there is a film canister icon in the middle of
the dots.
* If I click on the film canister it says, "Temporarily allow [URL and
more codec gibberish]". again I click OK, the page reloads and the video
finally plays.
So here, click-to-play required two clicks and two reloads (plus
confirmation clicks). Ideally it should require only one reload. The
option to click to play the video should be much more clear (it should
probably have the text "Click to Play"). If there is a confirmation
prompt, then it should clearly explain to that video/audio is about to be
loaded, and what the security concerns are.
