You need to disable java feature in settings. Chrome forcing user playing videos in background for monetary reasons.

The Site Settings-->MEdia setting has disappeared entirely from both my desktop and mobile Chrome versions. WTF is going on here?

Same here. Trying to listen to music and read but a stupid video keeps
auto playing. Media options in settings has gone. Can't be bothered
anymore. Uninstalled Chrome and now using Firefox which has a nice and
easy disable autoplay option.

Same here. MEDIA is not an option in my site settings. Neither is video or similarnoption.
The autoplay does not start, but every time i scroll past a video, any music/podcast will be paused as long as the video is in the picture. Very disturbing.

Agree autoplay is NOT fixed. MacBook Pro desktop chrome Version 80.0.3987.132 (Official Build) (64-bit) has no media or site setting options. Autoplay SO ANNOYING that I am ditching chrome and going back to Safari or may try Firefox.

I'm no psychologist, but I agree with the opinion that blocking of autoplay video is an accessibility feature. The chrome blog post linked has a source that describes how some users with certain disabilities are unable to use websites that have autoplay videos.
There should be an option to disable muted/unmuted autoplay videos, even if it isn't on by default, in the accessibility menu so more users can enjoy the web.
