Turn Off Playlist Autoplay

Yes, please! If you use the description box to enter support copy or additional information, it is impossible to both read and watch a video. I'd love to have them land on the video page, read the text, and then play the video.
Many videos are just placeholder videos that are 2-3 seconds that I had to put in place to have a text-based lesson.
Almost every video in my program has a big notice at the top of the lesson that says to hit pause on the video. That feels a bit janky but it was the best I could do given the limitation.

Yes please!! Seems an easy addition.
In order to have text/non-video content appear in my playlist for my course, I have created 1-second videos of images so they count as "media" with my text in the description below. This would work fine except that "autoplay" moves my users to the next video as soon as the 1-second video is done playing, which is clearly not enough time to view the text content in the description.
I could make the video longer but still I don't want my user to progress until they are ready. Could you please add an option to turn off autoplay in a playlist? Thank you!

Will McArthur is there an update on this one? We’re in the middle of our annual member survey and this has come up again as a really frustrating feature for some of our members for similar reasons to Lyn shares!

Casey Patch: this shouldn't be too big of an update... I'll see what I can do. Thanks for your patience!

Really hoping this feature gets added soon...I'm loving Searchie so far, but I've always hated autoplay. 😬

For any neurodiverse people, autoplay is really jarring and irritating. I hope we can get this changed!

so sad that this went away ... and, ugh was asked for back in Aug 2021!

Yes please! Would really love for the members to have a moment to read the overview and decide when to start watching.
