" News 5 Cleveland" said : Facebook app autoplays sound and videos; Here's how to turn it off

as mentioned in RELATED: Facebook autoplaying sound has users freaking outBut the autoplay of both video and sound can be turned off in the Facebook app. Although the app has been autoplaying videos in the News Feed for a while, they were previously silenced unless the user tapped the video to turn the sound on. Facebook announced several new changes to its app this week, undoubtedly the most invasive of which is the fact that sound will automatically play with videos when users scroll past them. Users of the Facebook mobile app better prepare for a new annoyance: nonstop noise. This means Facebook users need to be a little more careful about casually using the app in quiet places, or things might get awkward.

Facebook videos to auto-play with sound turned on
"Our video app for TV is a new way to enjoy Facebook videos on a bigger screen," Li and Sittler wrote. "With the app, you can watch videos shared by friends or Pages you follow, top live videos from around the world, and recommended videos based on your interests." "With this update, sound fades in and out as you scroll through videos in news feed, bringing those videos to life," Li and Sittler wrote. You can also watch videos you've saved, already watched, shared, or uploaded. That changes going forward, though, as videos will now automatically play with the sound turned on.

7 reasons why Facebook will autoplay sound despite complaints
Facebook confirmed to TechCrunch today that sound will not autoplay on Facebook videos if you're already listening to something on your device. That will allow more people to watch Facebook videos with the sound on, even in public. Reduce need for subtitles – Professional publishers now often slap flashy, stylized subtitles on all their Facebook videos to make them understandable with the sound off. This would prevent annoying copyright infringement take-downs, and make boring stick-your-phone-out-and-pan clips more like epic music videos. Luckily, those who hate it can turn off autoplay sound in their Facebook settings.
