I’ve always hated the auto-play on previews when you’re scrolling through Netflix. It just ends up slowing me down as I accidentally trigger the auto-preview on episodes I’m not interested in. I’d rather just click through to read the description. Finally Netflix is offering a way to turn off auto-play on previews
To remove this auto-play feature just select manage profiles from the menu and “Check or uncheck the option to Autoplay previews while browsing on all devices.”
Netflix is also offering a way to turn auto-play on next episodes. This auto-plat happens when you’re watching a series and when finishing one episode Netflix plays the next episode. Some people like the auto-play feature but others sometimes take a break between episodes and would rather click to play the next episode rather than Netflix automatically doing it for them.
To remove auto-play feature on next episodes just select manage profiles from the menu and Check or uncheck the option to “Autoplay next episode in a series on all devices.”
