One of the most outstanding functions of Netflix is the auto-reproduction of chapters when the previous one has finished. This feature allows you to view the chapters of a series without having to interact with the device from which you play the content. This way when you finish a chapter, automatically, after several seconds the next chapter will start playing..
Without a doubt this function is a great advantage, however it may be a nuisance in the event that you fall asleep while viewing a chapter of your favorite series. This often happens, night comes, you put on the episode of a series and after 20 minutes you fall asleep on the sofa or bed. As the automatic playback of the following chapters is activated by default, after falling asleep and finishing the chapter you were watching, the next one will start playing and so on.
In my case it has happened that up to 3 more chapters have been played than I was viewing at the time I fell asleep. This is a drawback since the next day when you want to reproduce the chapter you were watching at the exact moment you fell asleep, it can be somewhat complicated. Now there is no reference to that exact point where you left it. What's more, the last chapter displayed you didn't even see because you fell asleep..
Fortunately, to avoid this type of situation Netflix offers the possibility of deactivating the automatic reproduction of the next chapter of a series. Here we show you how to do it:
How to disable the option: Automatically play the next episode in a series on all devices on Netflix
- Open Netflix in your browser and access your account.
- After selecting your profile you will be directed to the Netflix main page
- Hover your mouse cursor over the profile image at the top right of the interface..
- In the displayed menu you have to select the option: Manage profiles .
- You will be directed to a new page where you will have to select your account / profile.
- On the next screen you will find a series of configuration options. Among these options you will find the option: Automatically play the next episode of a series on all devices.
- This function is checked and therefore activated by default. In our case, in order to deactivate it, you will only have to disable the box for said option.
-For the new setting to take effect, you will have to click on the button: Save and finally Done.
Now when you fall asleep while playing an episode on Netflix, the next chapter won't start playing when the one you're viewing is finished.
It should be noted that these changes will affect all devices, that is, it does not matter from which device you are viewing the Netflix chapter, the next episode will not play automatically.
