Tip #217

Block videos from automatically playing on web pages.

Do you want to have control over when a video starts playing on a web page you’re visiting? If the answer is yes then you’re in luck, because Vivaldi gives you the power to control it.

  1. Head over to Settings > Privacy and Security > Default Permissions.
  2. For Autoplay, instead of the default Allow, select Block.

Next time you load a web page where videos usually start playing immediately, you’ll need click Play when you’re ready to watch the video.

In the foreground, Autoplay settings are open in the Settings window. In the background, there's a Vivaldi window with a YouTube video by Tom Scott with a play button on the video, instead of a video captured mid play.
