Media autoplay blocking

Unless I'm missing something (and at my age that's a real possibilty), media autoplay blocking still doesn't work.

 

If it does work, please let me know what needs to happen other than enabling the flag and setting the autoplay option to block.

 

Thanks!

      Media autoplay blocking is working for me in canary for some sites that previously were not blocked effectively.

       

      I use canary Version 89.0.739.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) on four different systems, all on Windows 20H2 OS Build 29042.685. So far it has only been consistent on one system. It may be in controlled feature rollout (A/B testing), there may be a difference in settings between the systems (I try to keep them the same) or maybe something has changed on the sites themselves.

       

      This is a valued feature for us and I hope this is an indication that we will see an implementation rolled out soon.

      • That's very good!
        did you set it to block or limited in edge://settings/content/mediaAutoplay ?
