Thanks man. It was driving me nuts

[@AndreasWaatz]

Your welcome :) Now you can relax :)

[@prithvirajjadhav5500]

Me too‼️🥴

[@starvingwerewolf]

It is making me crazy it was bot doing it until like 30 minutes ago

[@johnjay370]

Thanks 👍

[@blendering3D]

Thanks man, I was getting sick of having my watch history full of thumbnail videos

[@AndreasWaatz]

Your welcome 🙂

[@breadfan_85]

OMG you just saved my life! I've been looking for the answer to this for ages. It's so annoying when all you want to do is look at the thumbnail but you can't because it starts playing the damn video.

[@AndreasWaatz]

Thanks. Always nice to safe a life in the morning, 🥳🙏

[@ShadowRifft]

it seems they didn't describe that setting very well🤷‍♂️ it DOES work though!, Thanks!!😎👍

[@AndreasWaatz]

Your welcome 🙂

[@johnschmidt1995]

First clear concise video I have found on the subject. Thank You.

[@Augcabi]

yeah same

[@banditoo7]

Still great 3 years later. Thanks

[@OzzieStorm]

was getting sick of full videos showing up in my history when i didn't even click on them, all from the playback. Thank you!

[@jimjam6958]

I am sure this used to be easier to find but after many RUclips marketing meetings I'm supposed to like it better this way. 👍 Thanks for putting this up

[@gaboonv1per]

Thank you for the video, I did as you instructed and it worked flawlessly, it's been so aggravating to search for videos and they just start automatically filling up the viewed history, Thank you very much. 👍

[@AndreasWaatz]

Awesome🥳 Your welcome🙂

[@TheInkPitOx]

Thank you! For years I've been wondering why this happened and was making it look like I already watched the video.

[@SteeringWheelOperator]

Bro thank you! Works in 2023!

[@Bouya_Harumichi]

Very helpful to avoid movie spoilers

[@JUST_STATUS.1]

Thanks bro , love from ❤ haryana, india

[@deepspacedoggydog]

Thank you. Still helping people today.

[@niqulusviii987]

So many unwanted vids in my history! Thank you!

[@AndreasWaatz]

You're welcome!

[@swangin84]

Mann!!! You do not know how happy I was to find this video! That shit was annoying! Thanks!

[@AndreasWaatz]

Nice🙂 Your welcome

[@HekaAlchemi]

Thanks! I actually kind of like the feature but realize it wasn't worth it when youtube acted like I was actually watching the videos and it started to change all my recommended videos

[@sashasguitarcovers5921]

Thanks dude. Idk what RUclips was thinking implementing this

[@ravikumarr1477]

Thanks dude

[@AndreasWaatz]

Your welcome :)

[@Hi-oq8sj]

I really do appreciate this very straightforward video. But after going into the settings and clicked on “general”, I couldn’t find the option “muted playback in feeds”. I’ve got no idea why it isn’t there.
So may I ask, what should I do since RUclips doesn’t provide that option for me ?

[@nisrinarahma8680]

Same :(

[@joelsalazar702]

Click “Playback in Feeds”

[@ka_lunar9987]

Hi did your problem resolved?

[@doodle1726]

Thanks alot bro short and on point video👍😄.

[@JuanLopez-do6tf]

Thank you, i actually like looking at the thumbnails

[@skyarsenallll]

Worked July 2021 😊👍

[@occamsrazor7939]

Thanks. That was trying my patience.

[@gamingnerdgirlz]

Still works as of today. 🎉great. 1:06

[@amoghkakde]

I tried & It worked....... Tx mate.....

[@Ayu_97]

Thanks bro ! Works till this date 👍

[@AndreasWaatz]

Great, thanks bro😊👍

[@sirizmahjam2634]

Still works in late 2021. Thanks, man! 😁

[@BoiseG]

How do you do this in a Windows 10 desktop using Chrome browser?

[@TheInkPitOx]

If you do it on your phone it affects it everywhere.

[@melissaaldosari8024]

Thank goodness! This was driving me crazy! Thank you!

[@tkgplays2831]

[@tinachristeen1306]

Thank fucking god. This was driving me batshit and I couldn't find the setting anywhere. You are an OG man

[@shermangriffin4668]

Very awesome thank you

[@lamondae]

THANK YOU!

[@Varentex]

Thank you bro!

[@nleem3361]

Thank you. I wouldn't have found that in a million years.... it's so hard for me to read the video titles when things are moving on the screen.

[@diegovamanos6770]

Howdy, thanks for this video, very clear! While I learned something useful, what I really wanted was to turn off the thumbnails, or preview boxes, that appear just before a video ends. For example, in this, your video, two thumbnails appear at 1:20, how do I permanently stop those from appearing? Appreciate your help!

[@xTinBenderX]

Got it! Had to skip the My Profile and just scroll down to Settings and there it was. Thanks!

[@marelunareikiasmr]

Really helpful and to the point - thank you 🙌

[@mgmatecki]

That extra step at the beginning by going to "my channel" first is a tricky one. Thanks for the video, that has been driving me nuts.

[@NOGOHIPOO]

Still works. Thanks bro.

[@CaptainFistArt]

It was so helpful

[@THEVILLAIN___]

[@catman8965]

Glad it helped

[@matthebee]

Lifesaver!

[@neiledwards4612]

[@hipertec95]

Thanks

[@adriande1]

Thank you! I hate that it auto plays and when you click on it you miss the first few seconds cause the audio was off. What a terrible feature

[@manto2403]

very good

[@Sid03519]

Seeing this in 2021, and yes they changed Name only increase panic in users' mind, "Playback in Feeds".. 🥴
In my mother's phone it was always on which uses up all the data. 😦
Thanks for saving a weeks data. 😁👍🏼

[@sparkymularkey6970]

Thank you! The setting seems a bit different now, but it is basically the same. It's annoying that they have it buried in the settings like that.
