Option to disable autoplay video

It's a bit awkard chromium implemented on desktop ~ where usually the hw specs are higher ~ but not on mobile where often the resources usage should be kept low; pretty much on every low to mid range phones.

Check out the newest Snapshot for a setting to allow/block autoplay.
If you encounter any issues or have some feedback, please comment below the latest Snapshot blog or report the issue on vivaldi.com/bugreport. -
This feature has reached the stable version in Vivaldi 5.7. The setting can be toggled on and off from Settings > Web Pages > Site Settings.

I can confirm that autoplay blocking works on my Linux Mint install of VIvaldi 5.6.2867.50 stable.
Love the feature. However, it also seriously messes with video calls such as Google Meet.
Would it be possible to whitelist certain URLs?

@nemyayx I can confirm too. It's doesnt block any autoplay from videos on youtube for example. Tried on my Fedora 38 and Windows 10 using Vivaldi 6.0.2979.22 (Stable channel) stable (64 bits)

Confirming it does not appear to work on YouTube on Android version 11, latest public Vivaldi version as of this writing. Site settings shows disabled on all variants of YouTube.com.

Works only 50/50 on Mac desktop version (6.2.3105.54 (Stable channel) (arm64) ) and I can't find out why. Still need to use some html5-blockers for the damn autoplay.

why can't we get an option to stop video and audio from starting spontaneously on page load that is site specific? I absolutely hate the blaring loud playback that jumps out at me when I go to news sites. Can't we stop them from being able to push this sh_t down our throats without disabling all audio on the site? Maybe just an auto-mute on loading for user selected sites that can be toggled on and off on demand after loading the page
