You are using File Viewer web part to view the video. Per my testing, it will autoplay the video.

If you don't want it to play automatically, you can use Embed web part or Stream web part.

method 1: Use Embed web part and display video using iframe and with to autoplay=false attribute.

method 2: Upload the video to Stream https://web.microsoftstream.com/. On the modern page, display the video via Stream web part.

  • Good advice ... if my company permitted me to use the Embed web part, or had set up Stream. Since neither is true, apparently I can't stop autoplay at all. Annoying.
