How Do I Turn Autoplay On or Off?

Netflix provides two different autoplay settings that you can turn on or off. Changes to these settings are specific to a profile and will take effect across all devices. You can adjust these settings from the Netflix site.

Autoplay Previews While Browsing on All Devices

When you browse Netflix, you can automatically play trailers using autoplay to get a preview of a TV show or movie.

To turn autoplay on or off:

Sign In to Netflix from a web browser.
Select Manage Profiles from the menu.
Select the profile you’d like to update.

Check or uncheck the option to Autoplay previews while browsing on all devices.

NOTE: There may be a delay before the setting takes affect. You can force an update by switching to another profile, then switching back in order to reload your profile with the updated setting.
