Audio And Video Settings

Audio and Video configuration is accessed through WP Admin -> PeepSo -> Configuration -> Audio And Video

It is divided into two sections.
The left-hand section contains all the configuration options, while the right-hand section contains useful information for proper setup of the features provided with the plugin.

Configuration Options #

Video and Audio panels #

Enabling or disabling the Video master switch will completely enable or disable Audio and Video features.
Autoplay on activity stream – when enabled, videos will be auto-played when visible on the activity stream. Unless marked as sensitive (feature must be enabled first in PeepSo -> Configuration -> Moderation -> Sensitive post), the video must be manually clicked in order to play.
Play inline on mobile – When enabled, PeepSo will attempt to force an inline player on mobile devices. The results may vary depending on video providers.
