How to Turn Off Autoplay on Netflix
As much as I loveNetflix, I still have a few small problems with it. The one that takes the cake is that we couldn’t turn off the autoplay. Though it is not a big deal, it is quite annoying that Netflix starts playing trailers with sound when I just want to surf the home page in peace. I’m gladNetflix listened to our woesand offered an option to turn it off. Let’s see how.
Some people find this feature helpful. Others not so much.
We’ve heard the feedback loud and clear — members can now control whether or not they see autoplay previews on Netflix. Here’s how:https://t.co/6V2TjEW6HDhttps://t.co/zbz4E8fVab

There are 2 types of autoplay features on Netflix; One thatplays the next episode in the series automaticallyand the other one thatshows you previews and trailers while browsing on the homepage. Netflix lets you tweak these features individually. Actually, I like the next episode autoplay option (it’s great for binge sessions), So I’ll leave that on.
How to turn off Autoplay features on Netflix

Thengo to account settingsfrom the top-right profile menu. As the Netflix app doesn’t have an autoplay feature, this setting is not available on the app, but you may go to Account Settings in the More section, it will redirect to browser.
Scroll down andclick on “Playback Settings”in the “My Profile” section.
4.Turn off the tick mark beside the option “Autoplay previews while browsing on all devices”. As said in the option, these settings will apply to all the devices, so you don’t have to adjust the setting on each device individually.
- For blocking auto-playing the next episode,turn off the tick mark beside the option “Autoplay next episode in a series on all devices”Just like autoplay preview, these settings will also apply to all the devices you use.

Closing Words
This is one of the features that I have been waiting for Netflix to release for a really long time. Netflix came with the feature that applies to all devices but only for your profile which is more than what I asked for. Anyhow, I am going to turn off autoplay for previews and leave autoplay for the next episode on. What about you? Tell me your favorite Netflix title in the comments below.
