`
`Notes Summary:
`
`Slide 1: 'This deep dive is about Autoplay in main app backed by WatchNext
`suggestions server. If you are watching a playlist and it autoplays across
`the video list, that's not what we are talking about.'
`Slide 2: 'Android and web UI. Count-down.'
`Slide 3: 'Overall Autoplay drives
` of YT watch time, and
`have autoplay enabled.
`Usage is higher on TV > Web > IOS/Android.
`TV users have to disable autoplay on their personal settings page, while
`other platforms the knob is on watch page.
`
`of devices
`
`*User can disable autoplay in LR on settings page.
`
`Net gain: Web
`

`
`at initial launch. No ablation is running.'

`
`Notes Summary:
`
`Slide 4: 'If user is inactive for some time, Autoplay will stop by the
`client. On web and mobile autoplay stops if user stays inactive for 75m.
`
`Timeout after LACT is not the same as "autoplay time limit", since it's
`based on "last activity".'

`Notes Summary:
`
`Slide 8: 'The post-processing stage has 8 steps.
`0. Creator redirect
`"Good" next episode
`If a good next episode is not found, we filter watch videos.
`Then for embedded yt watch,
`
`go/shows-platform for SHOW_PLAYLIST/SERIES_PLAYLIST/SHOW etc.'
`Slide 9: 'Age-restricted
`Live Event that hasn't started yet or long-running Live Event.'
`Slide 10: 'Overall only 0.015% of watches have no autoplay returned per
`request.'
`Slide 12: 'Loop Suppression is a key feature in autoplay. As we have seen
`from the post-processing steps, loop suppression is done in 2 ways:'

`
`Notes Summary:
`
`Slide 13: 'Sometimes users complain about topic-drift over an autoplay
`trail.
`
`What's tricky is how to get the seed video at serving time.
`
`We don't do this if watch history is turned off.'
`Slide 14: 'Rationale:'
`Slide 17: 'We also tried a lot of other ideas but it turned out quite
`challenging.
`Paradox'
`Slide 18: 'These are some failed attempts.'
`Slide 21: 'Loop detection: watch history'
