Thank you so much! You don't know how many times I was writing a comment and the video changed so I lost everything. I never changed any of my setting and one day, maybe from an update, suddenly autoplay was out of control. Thanks again!

Thank you, you are a champion in explaining, but just a little bit thing : there is a little difference between my settings in the YouTube and yours in this video about the word muted, which is not scribed, I think this is about the version and update.
