Beat me too it. I hate the autoplay rubbish.

That is exactly what I am thinking too.

First thing I did when I encountered my first auto-play video was hunt down an option to turn it off but by the time I found it, I had already triggered 4-5 unwanted video playbacks.

yeah my feed has turned into 90% video. "Your friends shared this video"

i highly doubt my friends are purposely sharing the video's every day, facebook is just junking up my feed.

Yes, you may not have watched the video, but it still played... still counts! 😛

Hold on, that can be turned OFF? Oh sweet merciful heavens!

For the Android app: App Settings -> Video Auto-Play -> Off

Blast, I was hoping for the web page itself. I have a Windows phone and already disabled videos for the most part.

Yeah, I found it after poking around again. They change the settings layout so often that I don't even remember seeing the option last time I checked all the security settings.
