If so, you&#8217;re not alone. In fact, many people have the same problem. Luckily, there are a few simple solutions available. Follow these instructions to enable autoplay on YouTube. After you enable it, you can then use your TV remote to turn it on or off. And, the good news is, they work for most browsers.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Clearing_the_cache_of_your_web_browser\"><\/span>Clearing the cache of your web browser<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Whether you are using a desktop or mobile device, you can clear the cache on YouTube by going to its settings. When you open a web browser, you will find the three dots menu, then click on the clear browsing data option. Click on the data you want to remove, and then choose how long you would like to clear it. This will clear the cache on YouTube and will save you time in the future.<\/p>\n<p>To clear the cache of your web browser to turn on YouTube autoplay, visit the Settings menu on your browser. Select the More options button. Select the Security and Privacy tab. Select the &#8220;Clear browsing data&#8221; option, then select the time period. After selecting the time range, click OK to clear all data. You will then see the option to select the time range for which you want to clear the cache. After deleting the data, you can now watch videos in YouTube.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Disabling_extensions\"><\/span>Disabling extensions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You might have noticed that YouTube videos are starting to autoplay. While these videos can be entertaining for a moment, they can also be annoying and slow down your browsing experience. Moreover, they can startle you without reason, especially if they are commercials. In addition, you might not want people to see your videos while browsing. To prevent this, you can use the YouTube Autoplay Addon, which offers five useful options.<\/p>\n<p>The first option is to disable the extension that enables YouTube to automatically start playing videos. YouTube uses DRM settings to protect the copyrights of its videos. By disabling these settings, you can fix the problem and make YouTube AutoPlay. Open your Chrome and Firefox browser and click the settings menu. Click the DRM tab and select &#8220;False,&#8221; then click &#8220;Clear Cache&#8221; and check the &#8220;Autoplay&#8221; box.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_a_YouTube_extension\"><\/span>Using a YouTube extension<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Using a YouTube extension to turn on or off autoplay is a great way to avoid having to reload the page each time the current track finishes. While YouTube&#8217;s default autoplay feature is convenient, it can be annoying to some users, especially if the video continues to buffer. Fortunately, there are a few ways to turn this feature off, and they&#8217;re all fairly simple.<\/p>\n<p>Disable Autoplay for YouTube(tm) is an extension that lets you turn off the automatic playback of embedded videos. It also offers several other features, such as stopping autoplay for YouTube videos with JavaScript code or those that are in playlist mode. You can also choose whether you&#8217;d like the autoplay feature to stop playing YouTube videos when the tab is focused or unfocused. You can find more information about this YouTube extension at its official site.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changing_the_position_of_videos_in_the_playlist\"><\/span>Changing the position of videos in the playlist<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the easiest ways to change the position of videos in a YouTube playlist is to reorder them in the order you want them to play. Simply type in the number of the video and click on the &#8220;edit&#8221; button. Depending on the number of videos you have in the playlist, this may be beneficial for some videos. If you have a series of videos that you would like to show at the same time, this may be more convenient for you.<\/p>\n<p>Changing the position of videos in the playlist after turning on autoplay on YouTube is also possible without re-installing the app. YouTube automatically plays videos based on their relevance to the user&#8217;s watch history. However, you can manually change the autoplay position at any time. You can even set it for specific channels if you wish to see recommended videos only. You can also set the position of videos in the playlist by going to &#8220;preferences&#8221; and selecting the category.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"438\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"245\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Wkr2n5Fs_NA\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Turn on Autoplay on YouTube You may be wondering how to turn on autoplay on YouTube.
