Hi there,
I wondered why the audio of my game uploaded to itch.io isn't autoplaying in Safari.
I then tried to trigger/fake a mouse click via
Input.parse_input_event()in_ready(), but this didn't work of course as this is passing an input signal from Godot to Godot inside Godot (silly me! 🤣) and not from the OS to Safari and then to Godot (the game).After googling for a while, I found a Webkit blog post by the Safari team explaining how/why audio autoplay is blocked in Safari for most of the websites. I thought, it might make sense to add this info to the docs on "Exporting for the Web", in addition to the already existing hint that Chrome also blocks audio autoplay.
