Your practice of automatically downloading and playing videos is offensive. Some of can still read and prefer that to your idiotic videos

Agreed. The constant video motion trying to grab my attention is relentlessly annoying. I'm easily able to find a new news stream that doesn't accost me with it without giving me the option of shutting it off, so please, just quit. Or give me the option of turning it off. Or suffer one more user lost.

Also, the floating video just conveniently is positioned negatively against the right margin so the close icon is not available because it is to the right of the rightmost side of my browser window.

I've used Yahoo homepage for years but it's time to switch. I'm all about choice. Taking user control away from the user is un-American. If I want to play a video, I'll click the damn thing. What you are doing is the equivalent of a Marching Band crashing into your living room while reading the newspaper. Yes, there are still humans that read and don't get all their information from watching You Tube, Tik-Tok videos and looking at Memes and GIFs.

If you show a video, don't make me read the video. If it is an article to read, put words on the page so we can read them, if its a video we should HEAR it

I just want a basic news page. I don't want to be guided into clicking this or that, nor do I want videos automatically playing.

I need a way to DISABLE auto playing video, when just checking the head lines. Why? Because it sucks. If I want to watch a video topic, I'll click the link to view it. No need to make it auto play.

It's quite obvious you guys don't care about this feedback area, but i'll waste my time anyway.
Please join us in the 21st century and DO NOT have audio playing automatically on your stupid ads. ***** you guys.... such a rookie move!!! HORRIBLE. I know one user doesn't make a single bit of difference to you, but if it happens again, I'm gone! -

I have used Yahoo as my start page for 10 to 15 years. That will end soon if you keep forcing videos to auto play.

Please stop on the home page displaying and playing violent videos - children see this! It's upsetting and as soon as you open yahoo it shows and is disturbing - have more news about positive good things and les violence!

When at work, I like to throughout the day go and look at the headlines, access my email and such. Your auto play is making me not want to go to your site... I am sure I am not the only one. Sound should be a choice, not a default. At work, no one needs to know I took a few minutes to disconnect.

stop auto-starting and loading videos. Meltdown and Spectre are real threats and you are helping them spread by using auto-start videos and other downloads on YAHOO.

My dear, sweet, fuzzy brained Yahoo! -
Would you please, Please, PLEASE stop auto-playing a second or event third video further down on a page while users are watching another video? While Yahoo! seems perfectly comfortable talking out of both sides of its mouth, few if any people are capable of watching and listening to two or even three simultaneous videos. Auto playing one video is bad enough, since I click on an article headline to READ it, and MAYBE watch the video. I do not want or need to have Yahoo! deciding that I clicked on a link to READ and article I automatically want to watch/listen to the accompanying video, but also to something completely different, at the SAME TIME, simply because Yahoo! decided it needs to be paired with the same article and has deemed it more important or worthy of my attention.

Advertisements play unexpectantly and repeatedly over the Yahoo news videos that I watch from the home page. When I turn the ad off, it automatically restarts 30seconds later. I use Google Chrome on an Apple computer, so I'm not sure if this glitch is just on that platform or more widespread. Understood that Yahoo needs to advertise to help pay for its product, but not at the expense of the users actually using their product.

I don't mind them ... ONCE. But when I click the pause button, THEY SHOULD STAY PAUSED.

i am completely inundated with video ads trying to play every single time i visit the yahoo home page and then am completely inundated again with more every time i click on a news article because yall don't think it was enough the first time so yall send me to a page that just has the beginning of the article so i have to click on another link to get to the actual story where i am again inundated with ads by another party. the point is that there is plenty of blank space on the pages that i visit that could be used for non invasive ad placement that i might pay more attention to than the videos i am always trying to shut down.

When did the article "64 hours in October" become soooooo important that every time I go back to the home page the video starts? Just because the Yahoo news staff (that's a laugh!) wrote it, doesn't mean that its that important! Your candidate lost....get over it!

It is very annoying and distracting. Especially if you have to find the video that is playing in order to close it or mute it.

Your homepage is becoming unusable. Please stop auto playing videos. Please stop sucking my memory and cpu.
