How to disable auto-play video on Facebook

July 28, 2014 by Daniel Bulygin 2 Comments

A little while ago the guys over at Facebook thought that it would be a great idea to auto-play most of the videos on your Facebook Newsfeed. Well, maybe it’s great for Facebook in terms of selling video-based advertising, but it’s certainly annoying to most of the users, especially if you’re on mobile data and some random cat video starts to drain your precious traffic.

Disabling auto-play videos is quite simple. Just follow the steps and you’ll be good to go.

  5. Select “Off” from the drop-down menu. Easy as that.
