If you would like to disable Autoplay for a specific website:

  1. Open the website.
  2. Click on the padlock icon in the address bar.
  3. Site settings → Autoplay.

If you would like to block Autoplay on a global level (for all websites):

  1. Open brave://settings/content/autoplay.
  2. Allowed → Blocked.

P.S Users have recommended the extension below for websites where Brave’s Autoplay preference is not enough.
