How do I turn off autoplay on BBC News videos?

Our autoplay function will be set to on when you play a BBC News video for the first time, which will play another video automatically. 

If you don't want the videos to play one after the other, you can turn off this feature by clicking on the settings cog in the playback bar and switching off the Autoplay toggle.

Alternatively, you will see a prompt on screen between videos that will allow you to stop another from loading by clicking on Cancel.
