 * Hello,
    slideshow block autoplay feature does not work if Windows 10 setting “
   Show animations in windows” is “off”. Is there any workaround for this? Thank
   you.

 * Hi, just to clarify — I understand you’re turning off the built-in animations
   for Windows, and that makes the slideshow stop working for you. Is that correct?
   And if so, do all web animations stop working when you do that?

 * Thank you.
    True, animations not working for me if I turn off built-in animations
   for Windows. That means that it also not working for others with same setting.
 * Some other plugin animations for Gutenberg blocks also not working.
    E.G. Blocks
   Animation: CSS Animations for Gutenberg Blocks: not working. Gutenslider, Co 
   blocks carousel, and all other sliders plugins: working. Thank you.

 * Hi there,
 * If animations for other plugins also aren’t working, this isn’t a Jetpack issue.
 * From what you describe it sounds like this Windows setting is also being applied
   to whatever happens in your browser, meaning this is something that’s being controlled
   at the browser level and not by the editor itself. In that case there isn’t anything
   the creators of any plugin can do to help, as we cannot override a setting that’s
   set on the operating system itself.

 * It is
 *     ```
       .matchMedia("(prefers-reduced-motion: reduce)")
       ```
   
 * from
    wp-content/plugins/jetpack/_inc/blocks/slideshow/view.js
 * Temporary solution for me is replacing this with
 * `.matchMedia("(prefers-reduced-motion: no-preference)")`
 * What do you think?

 * Ah, interesting. I didn’t realize it was possible to override that. I can see
   how Jetpack developers would have opted to respect motion preferences, so it’s
   not likely to change, but you’d be welcome to report your suggestion and fix 
   here:

 * Just noting that I’ve reported this issue in [https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/issues/14523](https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/issues/14523).
   You’re welcome to follow along there to see if this is something we might be 
   able to change on Jetpack’s end.

 * Our developers have confirmed that this is the expected behaviour for the slider
   block with that Windows setting active, so this is not something we’ll be changing
   on Jetpack’s end.
