It\u2019s often distracting to have audio and video automatically start playing on a website. If you\u2019re a Microsoft Edge user,\u00a0here\u2019s how to disable autoplay.<\/p>\n<p>You have two options to stop the automatic playing of audio and video in the Edge browser. You can either limit the autoplay feature or block autoplay on sites altogether.
