Twitch: stop clips from autoplaying

Pauses videos on clip pages right after they open so you decide when to start playback yourself.

Code to copy

// Pause clip-page videos so they do not autoplay on open
function pauseClips() {
  if (!location.pathname.includes('/clip/') && !location.hostname.includes('clips.')) {
    return;
  }
  document.querySelectorAll('video').forEach(function (v) {
    if (!v.dataset.jzPaused) {
      v.dataset.jzPaused = '1';
      v.autoplay = false;
      v.pause();
    }
  });
}
pauseClips();
const obs = new MutationObserver(pauseClips);
obs.observe(document.documentElement, { childList: true, subtree: true });

Does this example work?

Snippets are useless without somewhere to paste them.

JustZix takes 2 minutes to install and runs your code on every matching page. No account, no payment.
