Dsable this notification displaying media playing

Windows 11 Home 24H2. I have turned off all notifications and autoplay settings that I can find, but this notification still appears above the notifications area when I click on the notifications area. Can this feature be disabled? Firefox and V1c media playing/ paused is what is usually displayed.

    Unfortunately, as of the current versions of Windows 11 (including 24H2, as far as I know), there isn't a built-in setting in the standard Windows interface to completely disable this media playback control that appears when you click the notification area (Action Center). It's pretty deeply tied into how Windows handles media sessions.

    To do this first open Win + I → System > Notifications → Turn off Show notifications when playing media, restart the computer to see if it takes effect!
