There is actually no such option in Opera 59.1.2xxx version.
Many of the news site autoplay videos, even when they aren't visible (below/above on the site, "hidden" in the sides, etc.)
This need to be fixed.
I have to start using other browsers now no matter how much I love Opera's loading times but a lot of ads, and popups, and autoplaying videos eating up my data limits.
Other browsers like chrome, free as locker browser is fine though they do have such an option and works. So Opera need to step up now, it's 2020now, why is this a missing feature.

@fred-g Sadly not.
In fact my other favorite browser free adblock browser lost this feature too recently, I have no clue why.
None of the adroid browsers got this feature. I suspect due to using the same chomium as base, and they are lazy to implement the function? Can't see other reasons except that they want us to see scumy ad videos starting up constantly, even if we don't watch it.
