Here are the steps on how to turn off autoplay on YouTube:
On a computer:
- Go to YouTube.
- Click on the profile picture in the top right corner of the screen.
- Select “Settings.”
- Scroll down and select “Playback.”
- Under “Autoplay,” uncheck the box next to “Autoplay next video.”
On a mobile device:
- Open the YouTube app.
- Tap on the three lines in the top right corner of the screen.
- Select “Settings.”
- Scroll down and select “Playback.”
- Under “Autoplay,” uncheck the box next to “Autoplay next video.”
Once you have turned off autoplay, YouTube will no longer automatically play the next video after the current one ends. You can still manually play the next video by clicking or tapping on the play button.
Here are some reasons why you might want to turn off autoplay:
- To save data: Autoplay can use a lot of data, especially if you are watching videos on mobile data.
- To control what you watch: Autoplay can sometimes play videos that you are not interested in.
- To avoid distractions: Autoplay can be distracting, especially if you are trying to focus on something else.
If you find that you are spending too much time watching YouTube, you may want to consider turning off autoplay.
