**If media sources do not autoplay:**\

**Method 1:**\
Uncheck the ‘Restart playback when source becomes active’ option, then click the OK button. This will make the media source play automatically.

**Method 2:**

If you don’t uncheck the box as in Method 1, after adding the media source, click the ‘Apply’ button in Studio Mode to make the media source play.

**Method 3:**

To view the media source only in the EDIT screen, add the media source -> click the ‘Stop Media’ button -> click the ‘Restart Media’ button. This will make the media source play only in the EDIT screen.
