Netflix Autoplay

Netflix has recently added the autoplay feature, which plays the next video in the season or series automatically. This is a feature that was not available earlier and though on the outside seems to be a good feature; it does have its share of problems. Many people like to doze off while watching Netflix, and without autoplay, Netflix used to stop once the episode is over. The computer will subsequently shut down automatically after a while thus helping you to save power. However, with autoplay feature on, the episode continue to play until it is manually switched off and this has become an issue for many users.

Turning off Netflix autoplay (disable):

  • There is no manual option available in Netflix to turn off the autoplay feature.
  • The only step available is to call Netflix support and ask them to help disable the autoplay feature on your Netflix account. They can disable Netflix autoplay on certain devices, but you will have to call to see if the device can be disabled. Call and tell them your device (i.e. ps3, xbox360, pc, ipad, etc.) and see what your options are.
  • Remember that if you want to turn on the autoplay feature, you may have to call Netflix support again and the process of activating and deactivating Netflix autoplay may take a few hours.
