It would be nice to add a control to unmute a video if it has been set as muted on the page, as is the common practice to allow video autoplayback, for example.

My apologies!

I believe the muting capability can be controlled via the PiP indicator icon in the tab. I think that was the compromise that we came up with to avoid adding yet another icon to the tab.
Does clicking on the PiP indicator unmute the video for you in this scenario?
/cc'ing JSON_Voorhees and emanuela who had conversations about this a few months back when the PiP indicator was added.

I'm sorry, I'm not 100% sure which PiP indicator icon you're referring to. It is probably an icon that I have never noticed before (currently typing this on a Linux machine so can't test at the moment.)
Due to the fact that I haven't noticed the icon existing I'm gonna go on a stretch and claim that it is not a great solution to this problem. :-)
