explanation and an example are from cambridge.org:

"Will" and "would" can be used in conditional clauses, either with the meaning of "being willing to do something", or to refer to later results:
(1) If you would all stop shouting, I will try and explain the situation!

I didn't understand why "would" can be used in (1).
Could you tell me please how "would" in (1) relates to the explanation above?

an update:
my variant with "will":
(2) If you will all stop shouting, I will try and explain the situation!
What's the difference between (1) and (2)?

    We use would in the if-clause for a request. – Sam Jul 14 '23 at 15:30

    It means something like: "If you are willing to stop shouting" - a polite way of saying "shut up". – Billy Kerr Jul 14 '23 at 15:44
  • @BillyKerr Does "If you are willing to stop shouting" mean "If you are ready to stop shouting" ? Thanks. – Loviii Jul 14 '23 at 16:00
  • If you will stop shouting is not willing to stop shouting. It just means that. If you stop shouting now that I am saying this or after I am saying this, – Lambie Jul 14 '23 at 16:09
  • If you all will/would (=be good enough to) stop shouting, I will try and explain the situation! – Sam Jul 14 '23 at 16:20
  • @Loviii - Yes, willing to=ready to/prepared to. – Billy Kerr Jul 14 '23 at 17:08
  • @BillyKerr The thing that makes me really confused is why you say "you would = you are willing to"??? In terms of grammar it must be: "you will = you are willing to" and "you would = you were willing to". – Loviii Jul 14 '23 at 17:38
  • @Loviii Did you read the definition? It literally says that "would" can be used in the sense of "being willing to do something"". This is exactly how I used it. Would isn't being used as a past tense verb here. It has a past tense form, but in this context it's timeless. It has no sense of having taken place in the past. This is similar to when you say "Would you help me, please?" This is a common way in English to make polite requests. – Billy Kerr Jul 14 '23 at 18:04
  • @BillyKerr thefreedictionary.com : "I told her not to but she would do it." As far as I understand, here "she would = she was willing to". That is, "would" within the same meaning ("be willing to") can be used both instead of the present tense and instead of the past tense, right? Thanks. – Loviii Jul 14 '23 at 18:05
  • @Lovii - I'm sorry but that isn't the same at all. That has a completely different meaning here, It means "she insisted that she do it". English is so hard sometimes! – Billy Kerr Jul 14 '23 at 18:13
  • Keep it simple: "If you stop shouting, I will try to explain the situation!" – Weather Vane Jul 14 '23 at 19:43
