Autoplay is a convenient feature that automatically plays the next episode when your current one finishes. This saves you from having to manually click play for each new episode during a binge-watching session. Crunchyroll offers this functionality across all its platforms, and you can easily toggle it on or off based on your preferences.
On the Crunchyroll Website
The website provides the most straightforward way to control autoplay settings:
- 1.Open your web browser and go to Crunchyroll.com
- 2.Log into your account if you're not already signed in
- 3.Navigate to any anime episode and start playing it
- 4.While the video is playing, hover your mouse over the screen to reveal the player controls
- 5.Click the settings gear icon in the bottom right corner
- 6.In the settings menu, toggle the autoplay option on or off
- 7.The setting will be saved for your current viewing session
When autoplay is enabled, episodes will automatically continue playing one after another. When disabled, you'll need to manually select and play each new episode.
On Mobile Apps (Android and iOS)
The process is similar on Crunchyroll's mobile applications:
- 1.Open the Crunchyroll app on your device
- 2.Sign in to your account if needed
- 3.Browse or search for an anime and select an episode to play
- 4.Once the video starts playing, tap anywhere on the screen to show the player controls
- 5.Look for the autoplay toggle button in the top right corner
- 6.Tap the button to enable (orange) or disable (gray) autoplay
The autoplay setting on mobile works the same way as the website - when enabled, episodes will automatically progress to the next one in the series.
