YouTube is the mecca for video content consumption. If you’re someone like me then it’s possible that you spend a chunk of your day’s time on YouTube. One of the features that I’ve come to like over the past few weeks is the video auto playback on the homescreen. This feature allows you to watch videos, which are muted and display captions, without headphones or bugging someone in a public space.
Note: We tested out disabling the auto-play feature on YouTube app build #14.31.50 on the Nokia 7 Plus and it works perfectly fine.
- Tap on the ‘Autoplay’ section, where you will find the ‘Autoplay on Home’ option.
YouTube could be changing things up because the Autoplay moniker is confusing for a number of users. Many think that it applies only to the autoplay recommendations we usually see under a video. Thus, the option to disable this feature will soon be moved around to the General section and renamed to ‘Muted playback in feeds’ for everyone.
