Disable Facebook Autoplay

Bear in mind the days when Facebook Videos just played when you clicked them? If you intend to return to that far better age, all you need to do is toggle a few tucked-away Settings to quit the auto-play madness - Disable Facebook Autoplay.

Auto-playing Videos are annoying at ideal (possibly you didn't want that video to begin playing before every person in sight of your display) and data-wasting at worst (possibly you didn't want to burn up that data on a video you really did not even really intend to see)-- so we totally understand if you wish to put an end to it. Let's begin with Facebook's mobile apps and then relocate onto the desktop for complete protection.

How You Can Disable Auto-Play on Mobile Tools

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

Select "Settings" in the resulting menu.

Select "Account Settings" in the pop up menu.

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

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

There you could toggle the Settings between constantly playing regardless of the network, just auto-playing on Wi-Fi, and also never. Select "Never Autoplay Videos".

The Best Ways To Disable Auto-Play on the Desktop

No have to stop our battle there - let's invest an extra few seconds to do away with it on the desktop also. Log right into your Facebook account as well as click on the menu arrow in the upper right corner. Select "Settings".

Within the Settings menu, select "Videos" from all-time low of the left hand navigation pane.

Within the "Video Settings" menu, pick the fall box next to "Auto-Play Videos" and toggle it to "Off".

Keeping that quick change, auto-playing Videos are currently a thing of the past.
