Disable Xbox One video autoplay in Microsoft Store
If you would like to disable Xbox Store Autoplay Videos on the Xbox One, do the following. Visit the Xbox One Home menu.
Now, press R(Right Trigger)+B four times. Select Deals or open any other store category., hit the 3 dots button visible just adjacent to the ‘Search’ bar. From the menu that appears, select Settings. Find the option labeled ‘Play videos automatically’ and toggle it off.
When done, you’ll observe just the artwork of a game in the background of its Store page instead of the autoplay in function. This means high-resolution banners will replace low-quality compressed videos thereby enabling, smoother and sharper Microsoft Store navigation. At any point, if you feel like undoing the changes made earlier, follow the above steps, and toggle the switch to ‘On’ position. On a side note, if you have been a Microsoft observer for quite some time, you might have noticed that just like Windows, Microsoft Store too has evolved significantly over the years. As such, new updates to the store has brought automatic video playback across store listings. Although it adds a dynamic finish to browsing, it can be bothering. So, disabling them appears as the only viable solution.
