Are you tired of videos starting to play automatically as you scroll through your Facebook feed? This can be a frustrating and annoying experience, especially if you’re on a slow internet connection or if you’re trying to conserve data. Fortunately, there are a few things you can do to stop videos from autoplaying on Facebook.
The first thing you can do is to turn off autoplay for all videos. To do this, go to the “Settings” menu and select the “Videos” tab. Then, under the “Autoplay” section, select the “Never Autoplay Videos” option. This will prevent all videos from automatically playing when you scroll through your feed. However, you can still manually play videos by clicking on the play button.
If you only want to stop certain types of videos from autoplaying, you can use the “Limit Autoplay” option. This option allows you to choose which types of videos will autoplay. For example, you can choose to only autoplay videos from your friends or from pages that you follow. To use this option, go to the “Settings” menu and select the “Videos” tab. Then, under the “Autoplay” section, select the “Limit Autoplay” option. From there, you can choose which types of videos you want to autoplay.
