When I opened my macbook this morning, a youtube video I had been watching earlier started playing at max volume.
Combine that with the touch keyboard, so there's no way to adjust the volume until I log in..
Basically a terrible user experience. Is there any way to not autoplay media when I open the laptop?
Option A: Simply hit the speaker icon (Mute key) on login.
Using the Apple Keyboard
Using a MacBoook with Touch Bar
Option B: Global setting to turn off websites that automatically play media.
Open Safari > Preferences > Websites > When visiting other websites > Stop Media with Sound
