Logos website video autoplay

When I am browsing the website looking at resource descriptions, many times I will have multiple browser windows open. The embedded videos are nice when you want to see them, but it is a major irritation that they start playing automatically. Sometimes I have multiple audio streams going at once, and I can't always figure out which window it is coming from.

Is there any way to disable this?

Probably not, but I have not encountered consistent auto-play (logos.com), especially as you seem to imply that it starts after you have switched to another window (else the source would be obvious).

What is your browser?

I think all the browsers have a setting to disable auto play - check this link out or do a Google search for your browser:

Thanks Don.

I had a vague idea that it might be the case, so i found that my Firefox has Block Audio set (maybe as default). I hadn't been aware of videos playing automatically on logos.com as that is rather obvious (even if they would be silent!).

Its Firefox (on my Windows machine). Thanks guys, it was easy to change the setting once I knew it existed [8-|]
