description for autoplay blocking in settings page
Official Explanation:
You can choose from two options which restrict whether video and audio can play automatically. If you choose Limit, media will autoplay based on how you’ve used media on that site in the past. If you choose Block, all sites will be blocked from playing media automatically.

HotCakeX, what happened to block for media autoplay? Can anyone from Microsoft explain why block has gone away as the choices are now allow and limit. I'd love to see block be there as I'd set and recommend that be set for people. It is so annoying to land on a page and have a video auto-start.
Adding Elliot Kirk, josh_bodner, and David Rubino to this conversation as I'm curious to know why block vanished?!
