How to stop auto-playing of videos?

I don't stream videos as I don't have good internet connecting. So, I download all videos of a series I want to watch. But most of the time I come back to video page just to look into comments ( most of times I found good tips about the video in that page)

the problem is whenever I load a page it starts playing the video. I had to stop them manually every time. this is quite annoying.

Is there options to stop them auto-playing ?

thanks.

In Google Chrome type the following in your address bar: chrome://flags/#autoplay-policy

When the flags window appears, autoplay will standout in yellow, and it will also be the first option on the list. Click on the drop-down menu to the right and choose the option that says Document user activation is required.

You all write about solutions when using a desktop or laptop, but this option will be useful when using a mobile device.
