# Disable autoplay if ad blocker detected
## Enabling this option disables autoplay when an ad blocker is detected, requiring users to start playback manually.
When enabled, this option will deactivate the autoplay functionality of the player if it detects the presence of an ad blocker. This means that, if an ad blocker is detected, users will need to manually initiate playback.
