1. Sign in to your Netflix account from a web browser.
2. Select the profile for which you want to change the autoplay settings.
3. Click on the profile icon in the upper right corner of the screen and select 'Account' from the dropdown menu.
4. Scroll down to the 'Profile & Parental Controls' section and click on the profile you want to manage.
5. Next to 'Playback settings,' click on 'Change.'
6. Uncheck the box next to 'Autoplay next episode in a series on all devices.'

To stop autoplay previews while browsing, follow these additional steps:

1. Stay in the 'Playback settings' menu.
