How To Disable The Video Auto Play On Facebook

For computers:

• Go to your options drop-down menu in the top right.
• Click "Settings"
• Select the "Videos" link on the left.
• Turn the "Auto-Play Videos" from "ON" to "OFF"

For Phones and tablet apps:

• You can adjust your auto-play settings to On, Wi-Fi only or Off. If auto-play is On, the data used depends on the amount of time you spend watching a video. If you scroll past an auto-play video in News Feed, your phone will use less data than if you stop to watch it for a longer period of time. If auto-play is set to Wi-Fi only, no data will be used.

If you use Firefox, you can disable auto-play for Flash videos like the ones in the news feed. Instead of auto-play, the videos don't load until you click on them.

You can either install an add-on like Flashblock ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flashblock/ ) or follow these steps:

• Type "about:config" in the address bar and press enter.
• Once the configuration options have loaded, type "click" in the search box
• Find "plugins.click_to_play" and set it to true.
• Go to "add-ons" in the Tools menu.
• Click on "plugins".
• In the dropdown menu next to "Shockwave Flash" choose "ask to activate."
• Repeat the last step for any other plugins that you don't want to auto-play.
