Netflix, a leading streaming service, is renowned for its vast collection of shows, films, documentaries, and more. However, you’re missing out if you’ve been merely streaming your favourite shows without exploring the platform’s features. Here are some tips and tricks to enhance your Netflix experience:
1. Restricting Access to Your Account
Did you share your Netflix password and now want to limit access? You can do this by initially changing your password. Then, navigate to Account Settings and select ‘Sign Out of All Devices.’ This will force everyone to re-login with the new credentials the next time they try to access your account.
2. Disabling Autoplay for Trailers
Netflix automatically plays previews with sound, which can be irritating. To disable this feature, open Netflix in your web browser, click on your account name, and proceed to ‘Manage Profiles.’ Next, click the pencil icon on the desired profile, scroll down to ‘Autoplay Controls’, and uncheck ‘Autoplay Previews While Browsing On All Devices.’
3. Switching Off Post-Play
After the credits roll, Netflix instantly queues the next episode in a series, potentially leading to unintentional binge-watching. To disable this feature, follow the same steps as disabling autoplay for trailers, but this time uncheck ‘Autoplay Next Episode In a Series On All Devices.’
4. Discovering Hidden Gems with Secret Codes
Netflix’s enormous content library and many titles might not appear on your home screen. To discover new shows and movies, you can utilize special genre codes. By entering these codes in your browser’s URL bar, you’ll gain access to an extensive list of titles in that specific genre. Click here for a list of these codes and instructions on using them.
