I'd prefer it not to do that, because I don't like my attention — or my Mac's attention — getting hijacked like that. There's an easy way to fix the video auto-play problem. It doesn't involve mucking up your Mac with content blocking software or web browser plug-ins. It's right there in Facebook's preferences.</p> <p>Once you've changed this setting, you will see video thumbnails on Facebooks, with a big white play button in the center. Clicking on the video will start it.</p> <h2>How to turn off Facebook video auto play on your Mac</h2> <ol><li>Open Facebook in your web browser.</li> <li>Click the downward facing arrow on the right side of Facebook's navigation bar.</li> <li>Select <strong>Settings</strong>.</li> <li>Click on <strong>Videos</strong> in the left sidebar, below <strong>Support Box</strong>.
