How to turn off Auto-play of videos 

 

Facebook

Facebook has it set to where videos auto-play when you scroll in view of them. You have the option to turn the auto-play feature off.  At one time, you could enable or disable aut0-play on the mobile version of Facebook. Now I cannot find the feature on the mobile version. However, on my mobile, the videos will not auto play but it will on the browser (I am assuming they won't auto-play on your mobile Facebook). Below shows how to turn it off for the browser.

 

To turn off auto-play do the following

  1. Open Facebook

  2. Open Settings

  3. On the left hand side, click Videos

   
  1. You will see Auto-Play Videos

   
  1. Click the down arrow on Default

   
  1. Click Off
