Can't disable Chrome Mobile video autoplay. Have set to Blocked in Site Settings; still autoplaying
0
Have gone to Advanced Settings -->Site Settings and set video autoplay to BLOCKED. However, this is useless. Videos still autoplay every time. How to fix before I abandon Chrome entirely?

You need to disable java feature in settings. Chrome forcing user playing videos in background for monetary reasons.

Same here. Trying to listen to music and read but a stupid video keeps auto playing. Media options in settings has gone. Can't be bothered anymore. Uninstalled Chrome and now using Firefox which has a nice and easy disable autoplay option.

Same here. MEDIA is not an option in my site settings. Neither is video or similarnoption.
The autoplay does not start, but every time i scroll past a video, any music/podcast will be paused as long as the video is in the picture. Very disturbing.

I'm no psychologist, but I agree with the opinion that blocking of autoplay video is anaccessibility feature. The chrome blog post linked has a source that describes how some users with certain disabilities are unable to use websites that have autoplay videos.

There should be an option to disable muted/unmuted autoplay videos, even if it isn't on by default, in the accessibility menu so more users can enjoy the web.
