Turn Off Autoplay Facebook

Edit
I like an amusing family pet video as much as the next individual, however when my Twitter and facebook begin overflowing with video dishes, news clips, and ads that play automatically, it gets a little draining pipes. For me and my cell phone data strategy, Turn Off Autoplay Facebook.
However it turns out you can easily disable video auto-play, both on the apps and on your desktop (because disabling one does not impact the other, FYI).
Don't worry, you can still decide to play videos, like the clip of those red pandas frolicking in the snow, as lots of times as you pick (14 in my case, however who's counting?).
For desktop or laptop
