The feature for remembering volume level doesn't work for me.
by erfan moradi, 2024-11-24

the videos are always auto muted in instagram That is their default feature now every time i have to click that small speaker button to unmute a video What's the point of extension than when i have to manually click. also as it mentioned that pressing spacebar pause the video, i can confirm it doesn't Rest features r working fine please fix these pause and mute function will give it 5/5
