This feature only works in browsers, so any other app that you have installed on your phone won&#8217;t work. After that, you can close the browser and open YouTube in the browser again.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTubes_autoplay_feature\"><\/span>YouTube&#8217;s autoplay feature<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Earlier today, Google updated the YouTube application for iOS and Android to move the autoplay toggle to the media player, which makes it easier to control. The same change is coming to desktop users soon, as Google is rolling out the change across all platforms. In most cases, you should see a prompt when autoplay is enabled whenever you&#8217;re playing a video. Nevertheless, if the autoplay feature is still annoying you, there are a couple of workarounds you can use.<\/p>\n<p>First, make sure that you&#8217;re logged into your YouTube account. If you&#8217;re under 18, you can turn off autoplay. However, if you&#8217;re over 18, you&#8217;ll want to turn it off. It will remember the setting if you open a new tab or window. Alternatively, you can turn off autoplay in the video player itself. Just click the Gear icon on the bottom left corner of the video player.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTubes_sidebar\"><\/span>YouTube&#8217;s sidebar<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes, you might experience YouTube&#8217;s sidebar in your browser instead of the app, and you might want to disable it. First of all, make sure that you&#8217;re using the latest version of Google Chrome. Then, go to the settings of the YouTube site. On the top-right corner, click on the three dots. In the Extensions section, click on the &#8220;Disable sidebar&#8221; option. Then, click &#8220;Reset&#8221; and &#8220;Clear data.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to view YouTube videos without the YouTube app, you can install ViewPure. This browser extension strips out the annoying sidebar and ads, as well as allowing you to customize your video URL and bookmarklet. It also allows you to hide the trending tab, autoplay, and comments. It also allows you to customize the background color, so you can easily customize your viewing experience. Finally, you can set the YouTube sidebar to be black instead of white.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTubes_autoplay_feature_on_iOS\"><\/span>YouTube&#8217;s autoplay feature on iOS<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You may be wondering if YouTube&#8217;s autoplay feature on iOS is enabled by default. While it is not required to use YouTube on iOS, you can switch it off at any time. Autoplay is a feature that automatically plays another video once you&#8217;ve finished watching the previous one. It can be useful when you find an interesting video, but it can be annoying when it happens without warning. You can turn off autoplay by setting the slider to the right or left, or by clicking the &#8220;Play&#8221; button.<\/p>\n<p>To disable YouTube&#8217;s autoplay feature on iOS, you must first turn off Wi-Fi. The toggle will be located between the channel name and the recommended videos list. On the iPhone, you can also find the Autoplay toggle in the top right corner. In portrait mode, the toggle is located at the right side of the YouTube app. You can turn off autoplay by navigating to the Settings menu within the YouTube app.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTubes_autoplay_feature_on_Android\"><\/span>YouTube&#8217;s autoplay feature on Android<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re having trouble viewing videos on YouTube on your Android device, you may want to disable YouTube&#8217;s autoplay feature. YouTube support has a simple solution for this issue. To turn off the autoplay feature, simply go to the settings menu on the app&#8217;s home screen, click on &#8220;Autoplay,&#8221; and select the Wi-Fi only setting. Once this is done, the autoplay feature should no longer be an issue.<\/p>\n<p>YouTube&#8217;s autoplay feature on Android is a useful way to watch interesting content, but it can also be annoying if it plays videos you don&#8217;t actually want to watch. This feature is turned on by default, so it can be frustrating to accidentally hit the autoplay button. However, you can set a number of settings to prevent autoplay from playing random videos, which will save you data when connected to a metered connection.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTubes_autoplay_feature_on_Opera_for_iOS\"><\/span>YouTube&#8217;s autoplay feature on Opera for iOS<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re having trouble using YouTube&#8217;s autoplay feature on Opera for iPhone and iPad, there are a few things you can try to fix the problem. If the YouTube autoplay button doesn&#8217;t show up, the first thing you should try is clearing the cache in your web browser. If you&#8217;ve done this in the past without success, you might need to update your app to fix this problem. To do so, open the App Store and click the &#8220;Update&#8221; button located next to YouTube. After updating, you can test the feature by watching videos with it.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve tried a few different web browsers, you might have the same problem. If you&#8217;re using an older version of the browser, you may need to update it. In Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome, you can upgrade by clicking the three-dot menu and then clicking &#8220;About Microsoft Edge.&#8221; For Firefox, you&#8217;ll need to click the hamburger button and select &#8220;Check for updates&#8221; in the pop-up menu.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"543\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"304\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tn8rgaXnYHQ\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do I Open YouTube in Browser Instead of App?
