Auto play of videos disabled, but certain videos continue to play aumatically.

[BOBTOMAS]

Wherever possible, I have specified the option on the steam client to disable the automatic playback of promotional videos.
On the home page of the client, all the videos present, including the one on the steam deck , start without permission (The Worst Promo Videos Ever Seen).
I honestly find it annoying.
Is there a way to block them once and for all?

Thanks;)

That's not actually a regular video. That's why.

I sincerely hope that someone will include it in the videos; to respect the decisions of those who don't want to see the videos, in any section of the store .

Thanks.

You can use extensions in a browser like Augmented Steam to disable them.

If it was developed by Valve or certified by Valve I would install it, but at the current development it smells like spyware.

Thank you.

It is fine. IsThereAnyDeal took over the project.

They even provide the extension code and service codes for people to review.

Ok, I find your advice interesting,
I'll download the source and if I find it's clean I'll try the extension.
But if not? Hamlet's dilemma.

In any case, I don't understand why Valve has introduced these unstoppable videos: it's a contradiction to Valve's user-friendly policy.

Wait until you get to a store page with a dozen GIFs auto playing...

But yeah, the webm banner is obnoxious...

Of course, I also include animated GIFs: they are for all intents and purposes videos.
The option to block videos should include them as well.
In addition, animated GIFs slow down the scrolling of pages.

Make a new suggestion encompassing all of what should be included in the setting you are suggesting.

[cSg|mc-Hotsauce]

Like a "data saving" option.

I'm ready to agree to the suggestion.
