Disable Video Auto Play Feature on Facebook?

Facebook, in a bid to increase video plays, has enabled auto play of all videos on timelines by default for every Facebook user. Technically speaking all videos — appearing on your timeline — play automatically when you scroll down the timeline by default, creating a lot of panic among the Facebook users.

This auto play feature of Facebook videos is very irritating at times, especially when you are on a slow internet connection. These auto play of Facebook videos consume a lot of bandwidth and slow down everything that you are doing over internet.

Moreover, auto play of Facebook Videos may also cost you extra if you are using a limited data plan.

And ultimately it should be your choice for playing a video or otherwise, and not Facebook’s to auto play all the videos that are thrown at you.

But luckily there’s a way of disabling Auto Play feature of Facebook Videos, and its simple. Just follow below instructions and auto play of Facebook Videos will be disabled in 20 seconds.
