In recent years, the automatic playback of videos in general, has become for many users in problem for your data rate. While it is true that, at least in Spain, data rates have increased their GB massively, not everyone is willing to pay for such rates.
Facebook, Twitter and YouTube are some of the main developers who have the mania, to call it somehow, of activate video playback automatically, as we get to the content of our wall or timeline. However, this YouTube function is responsible for continuously playing all the videos related to the video that we have played in the first place.
In these cases, if you really like a musical group, this tool is fantastic, since it will play the different songs that are available on the Google video platform. However, if we have seen a trailer for a specific movie, a video on how to do this or that, or any other type of content that does not require more information, this option doesn't make any sense, especially when the reproduction is made through our smartphone with its respective mobile data rate.
Turn off autoplay of videos on YouTube
- First we must go to the settings of our account by clicking on our user.
- Next we go to Settings and then click on General.
- Now we look for the option Autoplay.
- We just have to disable switch which is enabled by default.
We can also carry out this process in a much simpler way, without accessing the configuration menus of the YouTube application. We just have to click on any video and look for the Autoplay switch to deactivate it.
