Is there any way to stop Microsoft Edge from automatically playing videos after page loaded? Luckily, the new Microsoft Edge browser comes with a setting called Media Autoplay<\/strong>, which lets users control video autoplay on websites. In this tutorial we’ll walk you through the steps to block video autoplay on the new Microsoft Edge in Windows 10.<\/p>\n

How to Block Video Autoplay on the New Microsoft Edge<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Open Microsoft Edge. Type edge:\/\/flags\/<\/code> into the address bar and hit Enter.\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Next, search for “Show block option in autoplay settings<\/strong>” and select the “Enabled<\/strong>” option from the drop-down menu next to the flag. Click the Restart<\/strong> button to relaunch Microsoft Edge.<\/li>\n

  2. When Microsoft Edge opens up again, type the following in the address bar and press Enter.
    \nedge:\/\/settings\/content\/mediaAutoplay<\/code><\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Click the drop-down list next to “Control if audio and video play automatically on sites<\/strong>” and you will be presented with the following options:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Allow<\/strong>: This is the default setting and a site will play videos in the foreground.<\/li>\n
    • Limit<\/strong>: Restricts autoplay to only work when videos are muted, so you’re never surprised by sound. Once you click anywhere on the page, autoplay is re-enabled and will continue to be allowed within that site.<\/li>\n
    • Block<\/strong>: This prevents autoplay on all sites until you interact with the media content (you need to click the play button).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Just choose the Block<\/strong> option and Microsoft Edge will prevent all websites from automatically playing videos without your consent.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
