YouTube users can now adjust autoplay settings in their account preferences
YouTube has confirmed that viewers can change the default autoplay setting for videos watched after actively choosing a clip.
Default behavior for adult accounts
The platform enables automatic playback by default specifically for adult users. This feature suggests follow-up videos based on the viewer's existing history. The system continues to run ads while padding the parent company's revenue.
Steps to disable the feature
Users who prefer to stop videos after watching their chosen clip can turn this off easily. The guide provides clear instructions on how to locate and change these specific settings. People can also choose to keep the setting on if they like background noise.
Options for different viewing habits
The service allows individuals to select whether videos play automatically or not. Those using content as background audio might find the default option suitable. Others may want to manually stop playback after each selected video.
