According to foreign media ghacks.net, after the official version of Microsoft Edge 92 browser is released, the automatic playback of audio and video on web pages will be prohibited by default. As you can see in the browser settings, this option is “Restricted”.
In other versions of Edge, this option is allowed by default. Foreign media said that restricting the automatic playback of media does not mean completely preventing the automatic playback of any web content, but judges based on user habits . If the user frequently visits a certain website and allows automatic playback of audio and video, the browser will not block it; and for the first visit to the website, this feature will always prohibit the automatic playback behavior.
Naijatechnews understands that this feature also has a “block” option, but it is hidden by default . The following is the opening tutorial:
1. Enter the following path in the browser address bar:
edge://flags/#edge-autoplay-user-setting-block-option
2. Find “Show block option in autoplay settings” and select Enable.
