Configure Media Autoplay
With autoplay, you don’t have to play the next song on streaming sound; it will automatically start the next.
However, this feature is misused by advertisement agencies to play video ads, which often leads to embarrassment. Hence, it’s recommended to disable autoplay if you aren’t using it.
- Launch the Samsung Internet app on your phone.
- Tap on More
for the menu options list. - Select the Settings menu.
- Tap on the Sites and download menu, and select the Notification tab.
- Tap on More
for the options. - Choose the Notification settings from the list.
It will open the phone settings. - Toggle the Allow sound button and turn it OFF or ON.
Based on the toggle switch status, the Sound permissions shall be set to the browser.
If you disable the toggle switch, the browser will automatically stop all the autoplay triggers that an advertisement company has set. Unless you manually hit the Play button, the media isn’t going to play.
Video Assistant Feature in Samsung Internet
Samsung Internet has a unique feature known as Video Assistant that helps watch videos and enhances the controls.
You can read through the video assistant page to know the controls. You need to enable the toggle button for the Video assistant to work for you.
Configure Sound Access to Samsung Internet
Samsung Internet doesn’t have any built-in functionality to block sound access. However, you can do it under the smartphone’s Settings menu.
Unfortunately, Samsung Internet doesn’t have site-specific Sound settings, if you revoke the permission, no website can play audio/music.
Bottom Line
As mentioned earlier, Samsung Internet has no functionality to enable, allow, or block websites from accessing sound. But you can allow or block the Sound access with the help of your Phone Settings.
However, you can customize the media autoplay within the browser interface.
