Maybe it’s an mbin / fedia issue, but don’t see where I can do that for videos. Also, it’s not all videos that this happens with. Somehow just the occasional newsreel. This one was even odder, in that the video never showed up, despite it playing. I sussed out with post was playing based on the content. It was playing despite showing as just a link to the article
This would be configured in the browser you’re using to access the site, not fedia’s preferences. So I can’t really be specific without knowing the details. But you should be able to either block autoplay globally or add an override for specific domain(s) as needed.
how do I stop this from auto-playing in my feed?
turn off autoplay

thank you for the tip! I found a browser setting that was indeed not properly set. hopefully that resolves it
