How To Stop YouTube Videos From Playing Automatically
This article will teach you how you can stop YouTube videos from starting automatically. This thing happens when we open a YouTube video in a new tab to play it later in the near future but it starts buffering and playing automatically. Quit annoying when you are already listening to a song and a new song starts playing in the background.
Well here is a solution for Firefox and Chrome users. There is an add-on and an extension available which can stop this automated start. For Mozilla Firefox the add-on name is YouTube AutoPlay Stopper. Add-on installs without any problem and after its installation you can open as much YouTube tabs as possible without worrying about their auto buffering and playing.
Same in the case with Chrome. Chrome users can use the extension YouTube Autoplay disabled (better search on Chrome Web Store if link doesn’t work). This extension smoothly handles autoplaying of YouTube videos. Once installed feel free to open YouTube videos in the new tab. They won’t start without your permission.
This default playing of videos automatically is good but it is sometimes annoying and very harmful for Internet users with limited downloading or small bandwidth. I hope these two techniques will be enough for YouTubers get rid of this feature.
