I d remove the autoplay attribute  since if the browser encounters it  it autoplays  autoplay is a HTML boolean attribute  but be aware that the values true and false are not allowed  To represent a false value  you must omit the attribute   The values  quot true quot  and  quot false quot  are not allowed on boolean attributes  To represent a false value  the attribute has to be omitted altogether   Also  the type goes inside the source  like this   lt video width  quot 640 quot  height  quot 480 quot  controls preload  quot none quot  gt      lt source src  quot http   example com mytestfile mp4 quot  type  quot video mp4 quot  gt     Your browser does not support the video tag   lt  video gt    References   http   www w3 org TR html-markup video html HTML Spec  boolean attributes

Indeed setting autoplay to false doesn t help some videos will play anyway  See this case in fiddle   You might want to do by code something in the line of if you want to pause all the videos    videos   document querySelectorAll  video     for video of videos      video pause         Of course the above case will not work if the video tag is in a shadow root element  but then hardly any general solution will work with shadow roots elements  There you will need a custom approach and expand first the shadow roots

Remove ALL attributes that say autoplay as its presence in your tag is a boolean shorthand for true  Also  make sure you always use video or audio elements  Do not use object or embed as those elements autoplay using 3rd part plugins by default and cannot be stopped without changing settings in the browser
