Netflix Allowed for Disabling Automatic Playback

Netflix enabled its users to disable automatic playback. From now on, the website's customers can decide on the launch of trailers, as well as the subsequent episodes on their own.

Netflix listened to its audience.

Netflix enjoys great popularity around the world, which is guaranteed not only by a large selection of series and films, but also by the comfort of use. Nevertheless, the owners of the streaming platform do not sit idly - their project is still being developed. This time Netflix met the expectations of its fans and gave them the option to change the automatic playback settings.

IN A NUTSHELL:
  1. Netflix users can finally disable the automatic playback.
  2. Settings can be modified in the "Profile management" tab.

Most users appreciate the system, which starts the next episodes of the series by itself. It's a convenient option so we don't have to move from the couch even for a moment. (Talk about being lazy...) It usually ends in a marathon of binge-watching. Which does not have to be a bad thing, especially when dealing with such productions as Stranger Things or Sex Education. Automatic trailer playback function, which was often referred to as redundant, was less popular. It is hard to disagree with this, because longer navigation through the service usually leads to the launch of a ton of trailers. This option was introduced in 2016 and was intended to help with the selection. However, it often turned out to be a tiring extra.

You can choose different settings for each user the account that will work on all devices. Netflix reserves the right to a delay in introducing the modification. Therefore, it is best to force new settings by switching between the available profiles. Changes can be made in the desktop version by going to "Account". (top right corner) and then in "Profile Management".

At GRYOnline.pl, works in the Newsroom. He is not afraid to tackle various topics, although he prefers news about independent productions in the style of Disco Elysium. In his childhood, he wrote fantasy stories, played a lot on Pegasus, and then on a computer. He turned his passion into a profession as an editor of a gaming portal run with a friend, as well as a copywriter and advisor in a console store. He doesn't care for remakes and long-running series. Since childhood, he wanted to write a novel, although he is definitely better at creating characters than plot. That's probably why he fell in love with RPGs (paper and virtual). He was raised in the 90s, to which he would gladly return. Loves Tarantino movies, thanks to Mad Max and the first Fallout he lost himself in post-apo, and Berserk convinced him to dark fantasy. Today he tries his hand at e-commerce and marketing, while also supporting the Newsroom on weekends, which allows him to continue cultivating old passions.
