I have been receiving phone calls on my Mac with no issue but in the past week, whenever there is a phone call, the YouTube video on my Chrome browser starts to auto play. This happened even the video I was watching was either stopped or paused when the call came in. Is this a bug or is there some setting I missed?
MacBook Pro 15”, macOS 10.14
Thanks DrakeUnicorn. Looks like plenty of people having the same issue. I use GSuite and hangouts all the time which works best on Chrome so Safari not a good option for me. Let's hope Google will resolve soon!
If it happens in Chrome but not Safari or Firefox, then it seems to be a problem that Google may have to solve.
I have the same problem. It was supper creepy when it first happened. Then I found a pattern... I think it is a bug.
Thanks XXZxxz! At least I know I am not going crazy...
Hi DrakeUnicorn. I have exactly the same issue using my iMac running Mojave. It is getting quite annoying to be honest. Any answers from Apple yet?
I just tested it on Safari and it didn't auto play when a call came in, so it is a problem with Google then. Yikes!
Here is a thread on Google community on this issue - doesn't seem to have a solution yet.
Turned out it was not just YouTube videos. This problem happens to any videos that were paused...
Phone call on Mac triggered YouTube to auto play
