You can now turn off auto playing trailers on Netflix

[Pikachu]

Sorry if old, search sucks on mobile

And also I can't embed the tweet?

[Freezasaurus]

Embed works fine for me.

Anyway, fuck yeah. I hate autoplay.

 

[Deleted member 21709]

And they still use the tweet to say that some people find it helpful, hah.

Nobody likes auto playing trailers.

 

[Doomburrito]

Boom. That's fantastic.

 

[giancarlo123x]

Hallelujah!

 

[Video Games Are Dumb]

Well shit, 2020 is making a rebound.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Good. One of the worst parts of Netflix by far

 

[Indy in the Fridge]

"...People say I'm the best boss. They go, "God, we've never worked in a place like this before, you're hilarious, and you get the best out of us."

Praise Xenu

 

[SquirrelSaysNuts]

YES!

 

[Scarlet Spider]

I need that God is real gif.

 

[zou]

holy shit, never thought they would listen after years of complaints :o

 

[grang]

Jeez, finally. It's actually unbelievable they finally did it.

 

[SirMossyBloke]

Done!

Nice and easy.

 

[BringBackSonics]

Holy shit. I like how Netflix says some people find it useful lol

Edit: but extremely ecstatic this is done

 

[cognizant]

FUCKING FINALLY.

FUCK MAN. TOOK YOU LONG ENOUGH.

 

[Astro Cat]

About fucking time. Now If they would just give the option to auto watch credits instead of playing the next episode like 4 seconds after an episode ends.

 

[Setsune]

Thank goodness. I was having to park in the Settings menu on my Roku just to have some quiet between shows.

It would also just start playing episodes/movies, and if you let it go too long, it would act like you picked it and switch to full Play mode. It's clever on paper, but in reality it was annoying as hell.

 

[Rhaknar]

now make it so I can delete shows from the "watching" part. and make it so finished shows actually fuck off from there to. I love you Patriot Act but why are you still in my "watching" section, I've watched all of you, go away until there's new eps.

Thanks Obama.

 

[Deleted member 6263]

Finally

 

[Bigkrev]

Netflix has been borderline unusable on my old Roku stick in the bedroom because the autoplay stuff caused the thing to lag and crash.
I'm shocked they finally did it- I figured years ago they would never change it

 

[____]

Lawd jeezus thank you.

 

[Ryaaan14]

I loved that feature for about 20 seconds

 

[cognizant]

This is making me inexplicably more irritated. That we went all this time without this basic function. Arghhh!

 

[Van Bur3n]

 

[iWannaHat]

thank god. I had the Don't F**k with Cats trailer auto play on Netflix and it totally killed the mood of the date night.

 

[Deleted member 41651]

Thank god. Now I can spend that time I use browsing stuff more than watching stuff in peace without clutching onto the mute button.

 

[Fuzzy]

Now they need to add "auto skip opening credits" so we don't have to hit the button ourselves.

 

[DrKelpo]

The saints be praised.

 

[RCSI]

"Some people find this feature helpful."

Future headline:
"99% of Netflix users have turned autoplay off.

 

[flyinj]

Thank fucking god.

I don't know what I hated more, the autoplaying trailers that played and blasted sound on 98% of the screen where I rested my mouse that you couldn't turn off or the apologists who said they loved that Netflix did this.

 

[Teiresias]

Does this also turn off the auto-play trailers that happen at the end of tv shows, interrupting the credits?

EDIT - Actually looks like there are separate settings for both. Will definitely will set this up and see if it's actually working after work.

 

[TheAbsolution]

Fucking finally!

 

[Jeronimo]

Who knew that people liked options?! I think I've forgotten what it was like before they did this but I welcome the change back to the old days.

 

[LordofPwn]

autoplaying trailers when i click on something to see what it is? yes. autoplaying trailers when i'm just browsing? no.

 

[Detective Pidgey]

Oh this is so very very welcome! Finally!

 

[Deleted member 3896]

Yo!

Thanks, OP!

 

[cinch]

omg finally, i effing hated those

 

[Barrel Cannon]

"people say that I am a great boss" is my favorite part about selecting the office thouugh

 

[Anthony Hopkins]

On what platforms?

 

[Tuppen]

 

[heavy liquid]

Finally! I've been wishing for a way to do this since they started doing it.

On what platforms?

Click to shrink...

ALL platforms! :)

 

[nStruct]

F I N A L L Y

 

[xxracerxx]

Thank you for this.

 

[totowhoa]

Haha. This has honestly never bothered me. I.... I think I'm somebody who finds it useful I guess.

 

[Ohnonono]

Wish it would have happened before "Don't F*ck with Cats" but better late than never.

 

[Bloodforge]

Turned it off but they are still playing on the appletv app, unless it takes awhile to start working.

edit - still playing on shield app too

 

[Zombine]

Great, now let us make channels with shows and remove the 3 hour "are you still watching?" Cap.
