Default Mute / CC on - How to change the change this
I've noticed lately that Stream videos play but are default muted, with Closed Captions on by default as well. I don't want either of these to be the defaults, can this be changed?

- Alternate solution is check your browser settings. Edge -> settings -> search for "Media Autoplay" -> See if the option "the control if audio and video play automatically on sites" is set to Allow or limit .
If it is set to Allow , videos in Stream on SharePoint will play unmuted automatically.
But Microsoft should fix it , because we can communicate all users to check their settings or change the settings. - Agree! This should be optional. Not default. As a video editor trying to have work reviewed, it's creating confusion and extra work.
- Following for solution. Having the same issue
- I have noticed that now all of our stream videos are opening up with audio ON!
Anyone else experiencing this?- Well - if it's defaulting ON for you, then there has to be a toggle setting somewhere. This article might yield from results regarding the new "Sharepoint Admin Center" - I'll submit an IT ticket to see if they can find the setting. https://www.gravityunion.com/blog/2022/8/videos-new-stream
I am experiencing the same issue. I hope someone from Microsoft is paying attention to this thread.
- Having the same issue, cannot find any place in any settings to resolve it. Loaded a bunch of 30-second instructional snippets, but the videos are half-over before people realize it's muted and they need to go back and restart. So much for "fast and easy"!
- I've spent hours trying to find a solution but so far I've been unsuccessful. Please report back if you discover how to fix it.
- Same problem here!
There is still no solution / workaround provided by Microsoft?! Same issue here The last few weeks it's defaulted to starting on mute. It's a major pain since i do a bit of video editing and every time we share a video, it starts muted. And it's also time consuming to communicate every time a link it sent that you have to unmute it.
- I'm guessing Microsoft has rolled out some update to Stream which has caused this issue. Fingers crossed they are working on a fix!
- Same thoughts, so I'm interested in the resolution.
- I'm with everyone else here. This should not be the default setting and just recently started to happen.
