Autoplay videos in Engage (Muted) [MC1088730]

Message ID: MC1088730

To enhance the viewing experience in Engage, videos in the feed will now autoplay on mute with captions enabled by default. Users can enable sound with a single click, making video content more accessible and engaging.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 494686

[When this will happen:]

General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out on early July 2025 and expect to complete by mid-July 2025.

[How this will affect your organization:]

Users accessing Engage via the web or Microsoft Teams (desktop) will see videos autoplay silently as they scroll through their feed. Captions will be visible by default, and users can choose to enable sound. This update aims to improve content discoverability and engagement without disrupting the user experience.

Admins can manage this behavior at the tenant level using a toggle in the Engage admin settings. The feature is on by default.

[What you need to do to prepare:]

No action is required. If your organization prefers to disable autoplay, you can do so via the Engage admin center.
