(thinking…)

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.

    This is already available in the BTTV (Better Twitch TV) browser extension.

    Twitch recently came out in a video saying you can send feedback to stop recommending things. There is no selection for this autoplay carousel. I don't care about anything in it.

    Nearly 4 years later and I still have to rip my headphones off my head when I go to twitch main page and there's some live stream of heavy metal promoted

    Now you get auto play on entering the twitch.tv. Now when there are music streams and you have headsets on, the music is very very load. It's very unexpected and unpleasant.

    YES!!! Please give the option to disable autoplay. It super slows down loading the page when connecting or wifi is bad.

    Easily fixed by installing 3rd party tools, but after Amazon bought Twitch they've become pretty hostile towards 3rd party stuff.

    I hate the home page auto play so much I won’t ever go to it! Please add an option to turn it off. Some of us will never play these streams from there

    I have never once watched a DJ stream, and yet every time I load twitch that's what's blasting garbage at me. I hate that kind of music with all my soul, so I spend the first half hour of whatever stream I wanted to watch annoyed at the 10 seconds of ****.

    This. It's so annoying, especially as I've never seen anything interesting in the video that starts autoplaying.
    I can't even block it properly with an ad blocker. An ad blocker just hides the autoplaying video but the sound still plays. This is one of the most frustrating features of Twitch.
    Every time someone visits your site, you blast them with some random sucky stream with sounds on.
    It's a bit like if you were going to a store to buy a specific thing, but the second you step through the front door a representative of some random product you have no interest in starts yelling at you through a megaphone. Would you keep visiting this store or buy your stuff from somewhere else?
