how to stop video autoplay Google Chrome

[fvw53]

When trying to read Thai Visa Forum on my desktop PC I am flooded with so many pop up videos that it becomes very irritating.

I use Google Chrome

According to internet sources I should type ‘chrome://flags/#autoplay-policy’ in the address bar and hit enter. 

However I do not get the option "Document user activation is required" as shown hereafter ....I only get a new page called "Experiments" with so many options I have no clue what they do or cannot do. What should I do ?

Nothing to do in those experimental settings.

 

Did you try chrome settings, site permissions, media autoplay and set it to limit?

 

Chrome has a large extension library, try browse and install some dedicated extensions to deal with your problem.

I am on a desktop PC with Windows 10 and and I do not have "media autoplay" / what you write seems to apply only to Android smartphones

Seems the adverts having taken up more speed in delivery again. It is just way too many adverts and is not very nice. They need to do something.

It seems Google Chrome has removed the Media Autoplay option
