Facebook Autoplay Video

Bear in mind the days when Facebook Videos only played when you clicked them? If you wish to go back to that far finer age, all you need to do is toggle a couple of tucked-away Settings to stop the auto-play insanity - Facebook Autoplay Video.

Auto-playing Videos are frustrating at best (maybe you really did not want that video clip to begin playing in front of everybody visible of your display) as well as data-wasting at worst (perhaps you didn't intend to burn up that information on a video clip you really did not even actually intend to view)-- so we entirely understand if you intend to place an end to it. Let's begin with Facebook's mobile applications and afterwards relocate into the desktop for total protection.

How You Can Disable Auto-Play on Mobile Instruments

To disable auto-playing video clip on Facebook's mobile applications, we need to head over to the Settings menu. We're using iOS for this tutorial, but the alternative is the same on both iOS as well as Android. Select the menu symbol to access your Settings.

Select "Settings" in the resulting menu.

Select "Account Settings" in the turn up menu.

Select "Videos and Photos" from the Account Settings menu.

Within the "Videos and Photos" menu pick "Autoplay".

There you can toggle the Settings in between constantly playing despite the network, only auto-playing on Wi-Fi, and also never ever. Select "Never Autoplay Videos".

How to Disable Auto-Play on the Desktop

No have to quit our war there - let's spend an additional few secs to do away with it on the desktop computer also. Log into your Facebook account and click the menu arrow in the upper right edge. Select "Settings".

Within the Settings menu, choose "Videos" from the bottom of the left hand navigating pane.

Within the "Video Settings" menu, select the fall box beside "Auto-Play Videos" as well as toggle it to "Off".

With that said fast change, auto-playing Videos are currently a distant memory.
