Verified with Microsoft Edge 152.0.4191.53 — updated on July 10, 2026
Supported on: Microsoft Edge version 93, Windows 7 or later
Path in the GPO console
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge Description
Define a list of sites, based on URL patterns, that are allowed to autoplay media. If you don't configure this policy, the global default value from the 'AutoplayAllowed' (Allow media autoplay for websites) policy (if set) or the user's personal configuration is used for all sites. For detailed information about valid url patterns, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2095322. Note: * is not an accepted value for this policy. Example value: https://www.contoso.com [*.]contoso.edu

Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge Export Builder
BETAConfigure the state, scope and options, then generate .reg, PowerShell, Intune and SCCM outputs — or add the setting to a multi-setting collection.
These exports write the registry — this is not a managed GPO. ⓘ
Applying both scopes creates an ambiguous configuration (computer takes precedence over user). Only do this intentionally.
