Music playing in the background
Every time I start my computer, YouTube videos continue to play in the background, and I can’t find where they are to shut them off.

Hello Bswithrebecca,
Be sure to try checking the login items for the Mac to see if any browsers/apps are set to be automatically opened upon startup.
If needed this page can help locate where to remove login items: Remove login items to resolve startup problems on your Mac
1. On your Mac, choose Apple menu> System Settings, click General
in the sidebar, then click Login Items on the right. (You may need to scroll down.)
2. Make a list of the login items in the Open at Login list—you’ll need to remember them later.
3. Select all of the login items, then click the Remove button.
4. Choose Apple menu
5. If this solves the problem, open Login Items settings again, add the login items one at a time, and restart your Mac after adding each one.
6. When the problem occurs again, follow the steps above to remove only the last login item you added.
If that hasn't helped, try unchecking the 'Reopen windows when logging back in' option when choosing Restart or Shut Down from the Apple menu, if that happens to be enabled.
Cheers.
