Netflix has answered the pleas of its customers by creating a way to turn off the autoplay previews feature on the platform’s homepage. Follow along for how to do it.

Netflix shared the update in response to a witty tweet from Sarah Hollowell that hilariously described how badly she wanted to turn off autoplay previews…

Netflix responded today with:

You can’t change this setting from the Netflix app, so you’ll need to log in to your account on the web. Keep in mind you’ll need to do this on a per-account basis but the change will be applied to all devices you access your account from.
