# autoPlay
**Type**: `Boolean`, **Default**: `true`
This option is passed through the options object to the constructor. If `true`, the slider will begin playback as soon as it is [ready](../events/ready.md). If `false`, it will not, and you will have to call the [play](../methods/play.md) method manually.
```javascript
var slider = new Revolver({
autoPlay: false
// ...
});
```
