Many Netflix subscribers are annoyed by the same thing: the autopreview feature on the menus of the streaming service. At times, it can offer a helpful glimpse into a movie or show you're about to watch, but most of the time, it's a distracting feature while you're scrolling through the service's library, looking for what to watch next. Now, Netflix has a solution for this annoyance: allowing you to disable it entirely.

　　On February 6, Netflix revealed the control for this feature is now available to subscribers--something many people have wanted for months. It's relatively easy to disable, but you can only do it through a web browser. It doesn't matter if it's on your phone, laptop, desktop, or tablet; you just can't do it through the app.

　　You need a javascript enabled browser to watch videos.

How to disable autoplay previews

　　This can also be done for autoplaying the next episode of a series you're watching on the streaming service. Select the profile you want to update from the Manage Profiles section, and uncheck the box for "Autoplay next episode in a series on all devices." Again, there could be a delay, so you can use the switching profiles trick in order to speed up the process.

　　Now, you can feel free to peruse the Netflix menus without a video playing and possibly scaring you have to death. While you're at it, make sure to check out what's new to Netflix in February. You can plan out your binge-watching schedule while you wait for Season 3 of Castlevania to arrive.
