25How to Enable or Disable Media Autoplay in Microsoft Edge [Tutorial]
Microsoft Edge is the default web browser app in Windows 10. It's a Chromium-based app which has extension support, a fast rendering engine and a simplified user interface where Google's services are replaced with similar from Microsoft. It comes with an option that allows preventing web sites from automatically playing videos. Here is how to enable or disable it.
If you have access to a recent Windows Insider build, you may have noticed already that Microsoft Edge comes with a lot of improvements.
One of the new options is a new control to configure autoplay rules for media. The default setting is to allow autoplay but you can modify it to block autoplay.
Autoplay can be useful, for instance when you click on a video link as you'd probably expect the video to play automatically on the linked page. But there are also instances where autoplay can be annoying, for instance on sites that display it inside the main content or in the sidebar.
