Hey there, fellow YouTube enthusiasts! I recently found myself facing a frustrating predicament while using YouTube on my web browser. It seems that no matter what I did, I couldn’t figure out how to disable or turn off the YouTube autoplay feature.

I’m sitting down, ready to enjoy a relaxing evening of YouTube videos. I start watching a fascinating documentary, fully engrossed in the content. As the documentary comes to an end, without warning, another video starts playing automatically. It’s not related to what I was watching, and it throws me off track. This autoplay feature can be quite frustrating, right?

I searched high and low for a solution, trying different settings and browsing through various options, but alas, I couldn’t find a clear answer. So here I am, turning to this community for help. Have any of you encountered this issue before? how can i disable or turn off YouTube autoplay on the web?

Hello Jayden! I understand your frustration with the YouTube autoplay feature. Fortunately, you can disable or turn off autoplay on the YouTube web player. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Open your web browser and go to the YouTube website.
2. Sign in to your YouTube account if you haven’t already done so.
3. Start playing any video on YouTube.
4. Below the video player, you’ll find a section called “Up next” with a list of recommended videos. To the right of the “Up next” section, you should see a toggle switch labeled “Autoplay.”
5. Click on the toggle switch to turn off autoplay. When the switch is grayed out and positioned to the left, autoplay is disabled.
6. Once you’ve turned off autoplay, the video you’re currently watching will end, and no other video will start playing automatically afterward.

Disabling autoplay on the YouTube web player will prevent unrelated videos from playing automatically once your current video ends. You will have full control over when to start the next video.

Please note that these instructions are accurate as of my knowledge. YouTube’s user interface and features may change over time, so there’s a possibility that the steps might differ slightly in the future. However, the general idea of disabling autoplay should remain consistent.

I hope this helps you disable autoplay on the YouTube web player and allows you to have a more enjoyable and interruption-free viewing experience.
