==Original Abstract Submitted==

systems and methods are provided for presenting videos. the systems and methods access a video playback graphical user interface (gui) that automatically plays back a plurality of videos in sequence. the systems and methods determine, by the one or more processors, a current mute state of the video playback gui, a disabled mute state allowing output of audio associated with the playback of the plurality of videos, and an enabled mute state preventing the output of the audio associated with the playback of the plurality of videos. the systems and methods conditionally present an indicator that visually informs a user that audio is currently in the enabled mute state while an individual video of the plurality of videos is being played back based on the current mute state of the gui.
