Paramount Plus is drawing more and more subscribers, and the service is gaining popularity for the shows and movies it has, even if not everyone is satisfied. That being said, one thing that many folks are wondering about is how they can turn the autoplay feature on and off.

So far, Paramount Plus is home to a lot of original shows, most of which were "borrowed" from CBS All Access, while others have only just arrived. There are also lots of shows and movies from CBS, Paramount Network, MTV, BET, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon, Smithsonian Channel, as well as Paramount Pictures.

When it comes to the Paramount Plus features, autoplay is certainly one of them, and it goes up automatically.

Turn Autoplay ON/OFF in iOS and Android

While there's not much you can do about autoplay in your browser, there is something you can do on your mobile apps. In fact, you can change everything up from the Settings area.

Because you're using a mobile device for watching Paramount Plus, the feature makes perfect sense since you want to limit how much data your device consumes.

Suppose you fall asleep watching Paramount Plus on your mobile device; if the feature is on, it would just carry on playing content, which has the potential of consuming a lot of mobile data. Depending on your data plan, that could be a costly thing to happen.

Can you enable Autoplay in Browser?

In fact, when watching content over your browser, there's not much you can do about stopping the autoplay feature outside of pressing pause yourself. When the video you're watching is nearing the end, the window will minimize, and you'll be able to see what's the next thing that's going to play.

Unless you stop it, the next video will automatically play in just a few seconds. When it comes to shows, that's obviously going to be the next chapter. Nonetheless, there's no setting to fiddle with in the Paramount Plus Account area or the profiles.

Turn Autoplay ON/OFF in Smart TVs

The autoplay feature is also available on smart TVs. If you're going to change things, you need just a tiny bit of help. The directions we'll write down are generic, and you'll need to adjust them to your specific device, but the differences are tiny.

That's it. Now videos will no longer play automatically once you're done with the first episode if you don't want them to. Of course, when it comes to smart TVs, this is a bit annoying, as you have to grab the remote and play the next video, so only shut it down if you're absolutely sure.

There it is. That's how you can turn on and off the autoplay feature on Paramount Plus, where available. It's really not that complicated, and we hope you found it pretty straightforward.
