stop the autoplaying video on the front page
Serious either disable or give me the option to disable autoplay on the front page and anywhere else you have autoplay.

Please this.
Autoplay with sound is so annoying. -

Just came back to Twitch after a while and saw that they'd done this. Used Adblock to disable the entire banner.

Done with twitch until this is changed.

I always thought this site was horrible, but with this stupid option I realize that I was right ... It is ridiculous that we have to opt for a browser extension instead of you guys making this optional. FIX THIS, NOW.

I just signed up to twitch, I didn't know about this awful feature. I probably won't use twitch much due to this.

I've installed this addon in my Firefox to get rid of it. It helps!

Even if you don't disable the autoplay video, please at least disable the autoplay sound.

Agreed. It's irritating for a page to blast audio and waste data by streaming anytime I haven't navigated to a page for that purpose.

I have been places where I need my laptop sound (for various notifications) and misclick a bookmark and get blasted with wtv is on the front page. Has caused problems more than once.

Yes, please! I see no problem on Twitch promoting channels, but please don't automatically start the stream, let us choose. If it's of our interest, we'll definitely see it (it's huge) and click it.

Didn't come to twitch to watch poker. Made a point and just bookmarked all the channels I'm subbed too. Hopefully never have to look at the twitch autoplay junk ever again.

Stopped coming to the site in part to this. Especially when half the time it isnt even a damn video game, its some woman doing some IRL trash that no one cares about.

This so much, also applies to hosted streams. I just want to wait for my streamer to start in peace.
