# Auto Play Next

The next item will automatically be played at the end of a video. Users will be prompted with an overlay dialogue and countdown in advance, promoting the next video. 

There are two options for presenting the 'play next' overlay:

1. Specify the timecode for the overlay within the data source feed for each video and using the skip button. 
2. Set a fixed duration within the plugin for all videos (for example, 10 seconds before the end of each video).

## Prerequisites
DSP that supports play next. See Pipes2 JSON schema docs for [more info](/integrations/feed-json-protocol#entryextensionsplay_next_feed_url).

For using [Skip Button](https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/registration) follow the [feed structure](/integrations/feed-json-protocol#entryextensionschapter_markers) and add the relevant timecodes. 

## Configuration

Configuration is available in the “QuickBrick Play Next Overlay” plugin.

Edit the text that is displayed on the “Localization” modal. If you are using the [Skip Intro](https://docs.applicaster.com/using-zapp/player/skip-button) feature, the button label can be overwritten within the feed.

If needed, change the “Image Thumbnail Key” that is presented to the users in the Play Next modal (`image_base` is the default).

In case you are using option 1, choose the duration that the overlay will display and modify the design according to your needs.

:::note
The timecodes provided by the DSP always override the plugin configuration.
