stupid feature

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.

Please remove.

I personally dislike it when a tab on my browser automatically begins playing a video, especially when it's a video I did not choose to watch. This is nearly as bad as pop-up ads. Please remove this functionality.

I have adblocking setup to disable it. No problems. It does wonders all over twitch actually.

I don't care if it is there, just have it paused unless I click on it to start it playing.

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.

Please automute or remove featured broadcast, im twitch prime and for me its annoying still see what twitch want. I dont want ads and Featured Broadcaster... Looks like twitch just pull by force to see garbage or games or torunaments we dont want to see...

most annoying feature on twitch...there's a reason people used ad block in the first place, autoplaying anything is an annoying practice

Please get rid of this, or at least let us remove it. There are a lot of screamers featured and my roomates and I don't want to hear that through my speakers.

I don't want to use ad-blockers to stop the auto-play video but I will if I have to.

Please remove it.

There needs to be a way to disable this.

ok everyone here agrees twitch.. stop being a dick and respond to your users

Automatic and loud. I don't enjoy watching streamers that have thousands of viewers.

I dont like to open twitch and have a video that automatically start, I really hate it. When I iopen twitch, I want to see a video i want to see, not a random video that start with no reason, I really hate this function.

This needs to go. It is wholly useless to me, plus I despise videos playing automatically.

Please remove these Featured Broadcasts.
Dont know how to get rid of them.

twitch, can't believe that you don't respond to anyone's comments on this issue.

Found that a Chrome add-on called 'Disable HTML5 Autoplay' will do the trick. Video is queued up, but won't run without user interaction.

Damn, it's so annoying, would love to meet the idiot who thought this was a good idea.

Or at least don't have it on autoplay. Heck, don't have anything that I don't click on as autoplay. Every company ever could use listen to this.
