Disable Autoplay makes every song open paused instead of playing immediately, which is what you want when you are building a queue, checking an album or opening the app at 9am in a shared office.
Nothing plays until you press play.
What it does
- Opening a track or album no longer starts playback automatically
- Prevents surprise audio when the app launches
- Useful when you use the app mostly to browse and queue
How to enable Disable Autoplay
Frequently asked questions
Does it stop autoplay of the next song too?
It governs how playback starts. To stop the endless radio after your queue, turn off autoplay in YouTube Music’s own settings as well.
Will my queue still be there?
Yes, the queue is built normally — it simply waits for you to hit play.
Disable Autoplay ships with the app
Free, open source, and one toggle away — along with 42 other plugins.
