Hello all,


During some internal testing at my company, we discovered this is currently a bug within iOS 15 itself, and affects HTML5 video in the Safari browser. It was discovered during one of the betas and (according to some users) fixed during a later subsequent beta. For some reason it seems to have made it into the release version. I did some digging and it should be fixed in the latest versions of Webkit (which Safari uses as it's browser engine).


As a temporary fix you can do the following -


Open Settings App > Safari > Advanced > Experimental Features

Turn off:

- "GPU Process: Media"

- "GPU Process: Video Capture"

- "GPU Process: WebGL"


Hope this helps. I've tested it on my own iPhone and iPad and can confirm it does solve the issue.
