Let’s disable stop autoplay videos in Safari. You were using Safari with many tabs when you heard anything other than Safari. On a Mac, Safari’s “autoplay” option automatically plays advertisements. Whether you dislike or enjoy autoplay, we’ll show you how to disable it in Safari on Mac and allow it on your favorite websites.
What is autoplay in Safari on Mac?
Many sites use video advertising or offer video content. This site may play videos automatically. In some cases, it may be useful but in other situations, it can be distracting. You can temporarily stop video sound by muting the tab Menu bar > Open Window > Mute This Tab. Safari’s video autoplay issue can be permanently fixed by disabling autoplay. Let’s try out auto-play.
How to stop Safari from autoplaying videos on Mac
- Open Safari on your Mac and input a website’s address.
- Safari opens webpages by right-clicking the address bar or holding down Control. Next, choose [website] > Settings.
- Select a choice from the Auto-Play drop-down menu in the pop-up window’s center:
