Some people find this feature helpful. Others not so much.

If like me, you find Netflix’s auto-play previews distracting, here’s what you can do to switch them off.

How to switch off auto-play previews on Netflix

Sign In to your Netflix account from a web browser
Select Manage Profiles from the menu
Select the profile you’d like to update and head to the autoplay controls section
Uncheck the option to Autoplay previews while browsing on all devices

Note that the change might take some time to reflect in your profile. To force the update, switch to another profile, then switch back to the profile for which you updated the auto-play setting. As per Netflix’s help page, this should reflect the change immediately.
