How about just off by default? Seems pretty basic. There are Chrome plugins that purport to do this but I still get auto-playing videos. I don't want to train

I don't want to train Chrome. I don't even bother turning off auto-playing videos b/c it's a hassle, I just stay on mute.
Don't ad buyers complain about all these fake views from auto-playing videos? I guess not, or if they do Google doesn't care.

- ordinaryperson 9y agoFine. But at least give me the option of turning them off. As stated above, even their hard-to-find flag settings don't seem to work.
- loeg 9y agoOff-by-default is an option now for advanced users (such as might be reading HN). On the same page I linked in my earlier comment you are responding to, see: > You can try out these new policies by setting the experimental flag chrome://flags/#autoplay-policy to "Document user activation is required." in Chrome 64. Like you, that is my preference as well, and I have set the flag.
- ordinaryperson 9y agoDoesn't work. Have you tried it? 1. Go to chrome://flags/#autoplay-policy 2. The options in the drop down are: A. Default B. No User Gesture is Required C. User gesture is required for cross-origin frames D. Document user activation is required Select D. Relaunch. Go to ABC News. Autoplays videos.
