+# Avoid autoplay for videos and audio content (`@creedengo/avoid-autoplay`)
+
+⚠️ This rule _warns_ in the ✅ `recommended` config.
+
+<!-- end auto-generated rule header -->
+
+## Why is this an issue?
+
+Automatic videos and audio files activation (autoplay) during web pages loading uses resources on each tier (device,
+network, data center). In many cases, automatic playback is not necessary. Moreover, it can draw users' attention and
+distract them from the initially requested service. Therefore, whenever possible, these playbacks should be initiated by
+the users and by not using the autoplay attributes in the `<audio>` and `<video>` elements.
+
+Nevertheless, some parts of the video or audio files may be downloaded even if autoplay is not activated. Moreover, data
+will be unnecessarily downloaded even if users do not start the video playback. It is therefore necessary to force
+browsers not to preload anything by setting the `preload` attribute to `none`.
+
+```jsx
+return (
+    <>
+        <video src="video.mp4" autoplay/> // Non-compliant
+        <video src="video.mp4" preload="auto"/> // Non-compliant
+        <video src="video.mp4" autoplay preload="auto"/> // Non-compliant
+        <video src="video.mp4" preload="none"/> // Compliant
+    </>
+)
+```
+
+This rule is build for [React](https://react.dev/) and JSX.
