Facebook recently enabled the auto-play videos feature. With
the help of auto-play, videos automatically start playing as it surfaces on
your timeline. Facebook introduced this feature so that users would watch more
videos on their sites. Many users find this feature annoying and that’s
understandable because it forces you to watch videos which you would generally
avoid, and these videos consume a lot of data, and it sometimes becomes
disturbing but thankfully there is a disable option to stop these auto-playing
videos.
DESKTOP
If you are using Facebook on the desktop, through Settings
you can disable auto-play videos. Steps to be followed are:-
1) In the upper right-hand corner of Facebook, go to drop down
menu and click on settings and choose videos.

It’s that simple to turn off your auto-play option in
Facebook.
