On the video player, you will see "Autoplay: ON/OFF toggle" on the bottom left corner
(see screenshot below). To turn autoplay off, toggle the player to "OFF." (This works
vice versa to turn it back on.) Once you set the autoplay to off, it will set a cookie in your
browser that will remember this setting and will persist throughout your CNET viewing
experience without auto playing any videos. As long as you don't delete your browser's
cookies, the autoplay will remain off each time you visit CNET.
