Video still auto plays even though AutoPlay is blocked for both Audio and Video
On certain websites , the audio and video still auto play even though the option, "AutoPlay" is blocked for both audio and video.
Please see the attached screenshot which shows that auto play is blocked, it is circled in red. While the video has auto played, circled in orange with a timestamp of 17 seconds being played prior to it being manually stopped.
Please fix this issue.

Yes, in Troubleshoot mode it did play even though it was blocked. Had to go into permissions and uncheck default, refresh the page, and then it didn't play.
In the Site settings AutoPlay is blocked for both Audio and Video. Please see the attached screenshot for more details.
