How to stop youtube playlist autoplaying

[HarryC]

I'm trying to listen to a playlist (an audio book split into approx. ten minute segments) when I'm in bed as it helps me get to sleep.

Is there a way to stop playlists from autoplaying so it only finishes the segment I'm listening to?

I have an app. to stop youtube playing after a certain time, but it would be simpler to just not have autoplay.

Why not turn autoplay off in the settings?

Just un-check AUTOPLAY in the playlist video options.

Note that if you are not signed in to Youtube, you will need to turn off autoplay each time.

The setting is saved if you are logged in.

Slide off the autoplay on the bottom of each video.

I can't find any option to turn off autoplay when using a playlist. When I'm watching videos normally yes there's a option to turn on or off autoplay, but not during a playlist. Can you be more specific?

I can't find that option anywhere. It's there on the video screen during normal one at a time video play, but during playlists I can't find it anywhere.

I am logged in, I'm actually a subscriber to youtube. When playing videos normally the autoplay switch is there at the top right of the video display, but during a playlist it's not there and I can't find it in settings anywhere.

Then I would (and I have) ditch Youtube and use an alternative like NewPipe.

It gives everything that Youtube has, plus the paid features of Youtube are included for free.

I know that turning off autoplay is simple on it.

I would really appreciate it if you could tell me where in settings though, because I can't find it.

It is very easy to disable in the settings. It also pisses me off when the video automatically turns on on its own.

I do not have the Youtube app, and I cannot find it in the web version.

For the life of me, this is a perfect reason why I stay away from anything Google.
Google must mean frustrate in some other language.

However, as I said before, the setting is simple to find within NewPipe.
Not only that, you would enjoy Youtube ad-free and be able to download.
