How to Turn Off YouTube Autoplay

Use this interactive demo to learn how to disable the autoplay feature on YouTube in seconds.

Quick summary

YouTube autoplay automatically plays the next video after one ends, which can lead to unintended viewing sessions. You can turn off autoplay instantly using the Autoplay toggle in the bottom right corner of the video player.


Steps

  1. Sign in to youtube.com and open any video to get started.
  2. Look for the Autoplay toggle in the bottom right corner of the video player.
  3. Click the toggle to switch it from on to off.
  4. Once disabled, autoplay will no longer play videos automatically after one ends.

📌 Why this matters

Disabling YouTube autoplay gives users full control over their viewing experience, preventing unwanted videos from playing automatically. This is especially useful for managing screen time, staying focused, or avoiding unrelated content recommendations. The autoplay toggle is a simple but powerful setting built directly into the YouTube video player. Knowing how to turn it off helps users maintain intentional, distraction-free browsing on YouTube.
