the automatic and continuous playback of content without requiring the user to manually start each item
Autoplay is a feature that automatically starts playing a video, audio, or other media content as soon as it is available or when the user accesses a page. This function eliminates the need for the user to manually press "play" to begin watching or listening. Autoplay is commonly used on websites and streaming platforms, allowing content to begin instantly when the page loads or when the next video in a playlist is ready. While it can enhance user experience by offering seamless viewing, it can also be turned off by users who prefer more control over when content starts.
