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.

where is the toggle to disable the **** auto play on the home page? I do not give a **** about any of the edm you keep cramming down my ears when i go to twitch. why you auto play i do not know. waste your own bandwidth not mine.

if only they would listen..

This was suggested 3 years ago, why hasn't this been addressed with at least some kind of setting?

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

OR give options for those who don't want it to turn it off

improve Video Performance/Quality of Service?

shared this idea

turn off the ******* autoplay.

improve Video Performance/Quality of Service?

God yes. This please. Every time I got to Twitch homescreen I'm bombarded by **** DJs playing club music. I've got those categories as 'not interested' for a reason. If it can't be removed (for some god-awful reason), at least make it adhere to the persons category preferences.

EDIT - Fortunately I figured out how to block the entire carousel element that has the featured channels that autoplay at the top of the homepage with Ublock Origin. Still, having a built in way to remove this stupid 'feature' is a must.

just take the damn auto broadcasting crap out
if i want to watch the video ill click it thank you very freaking much

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 ****.

I dont wan't to autoplay anything on the "home site", that i don't watch!!!!! several stream's are lodaded (even if i ever open a link of that game...) when i'm on the home page, i just want to watch, what i want to watch.. and yes! it's on purpose, u guys don't have a idea that this is a BUG!
ps. writhen on cellphone.

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?

Please this.
Autoplay with sound is so annoying.

Stop the automatic replay of featured channels on the front page of twitch.tv

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