How do I turn off video autoplay in Internet Explorer?

Question

I do not want any kind of videos or animations to play unless I choose to click on the "Play" button.
This includes Flash, HTML5, GIF, MP4, or any type of video that may be invented.
What would be ideal is to have a new set of controls in Internet Options that would allow the user to control/override the video controls in all web pages.
For example, HTML5 has the <video> ... </video> element that has certain attributes:
autobuffer
autoplay
controls
loop
The user should be able to control each these attributes on a global basis for all web pages. For example:
Control Panel
Internet Options
Advanced tab
Video options (new category)
autobuffer - yes or no (new option)
autoplay - yes or no (new option)
controls - yes or no (new option)
loop - yes or no (new option)

Hi,
web designers make the choice to annoy you or not with autoplay or scripted autoplay content.
Contact the website administrators to make your complaints or add the sites to your IE Restricted sites zone which will stop some annoyances but not all... Ensure also that you have turned on Tracking Protection and ActiveX Filtering (Tools menu in IE).
Possibly a developer could create an extension for IE that would do all that you want sites not to do, but I don't know of any, and generally recommend addons free browsing.
Post general questions about IE to http://answers.microsoft.com. Include with your questions the full address of any websites you are having issues with. This allows the support engineers to visit the problem sites
to investigate and make recommendations.
this forum was for questions about html, css and scripting for website developers using MSIE browsers.
Regards.
