Playing videos used to be easy and straightforward. Now you have made it so they auto play muted, and I have to then pause the video, open up using the three dot menu, the video player, rewind the video to the beginning. This is extremely annoying when trying to show someone a video. How do I make this go back to the logical way way it used to be.

Yeah, the least they could do is make a separate widget to open the video player directly.  Personally, I prefer they don't open with sound, because I am not necessarily a fan of a loud video  auto-playing. I recorded a fireworks show on the 4th of July, I didn't need to hear the sound of the explosions and the roar of the street noises, especially on startup. I know others want this control,though.  Frankly, I didn't even know my videos recorded with sound until someone else complained about this issue a while back.

Videos autoplaying from the Gallery app is a huge annoyance. Can you tell me how to stop it. I've searched all the settings including Galaxy Labs.

Were is this setting to disable the autoplay? After I hit the thumbnail, I'd like to choose when to start the video. And also have is open in the video player, with the controls.

Does Samsung ever respond to people who have purchased their products? I would think this was a simple even question to be answered.
