Stop autoplaying media
Pauses videos and audio that start automatically without user action, but leaves manual playback intact.
Code to copy
// Pause any video that tries to autoplay without user interaction.
function stopAutoplay() {
document.querySelectorAll('video, audio').forEach(function (m) {
try {
m.autoplay = false;
m.removeAttribute('autoplay');
if (!m.dataset.jzUserPlayed && !m.paused) m.pause();
} catch (e) {}
});
}
// A real click marks the media as user-initiated so it stays playable.
document.addEventListener('play', function (e) {
if (e.target && e.isTrusted) e.target.dataset.jzUserPlayed = '1';
}, true);
stopAutoplay();
setInterval(stopAutoplay, 1000);How to use this example
