How do you turn off autoplay on Peacock?
Peacock will make you log in on a computer to turn off autoplay, so keep that in mind when you’re seeking out the setting. The good news is, Peacock will let you turn off autoplay only on the profiles you want to change, leaving it on for other profiles until their owners edit the setting for themselves.
To turn off autoplay, click the profile icon at the top of the Peacock home screen on the web. Then, scroll to the profile you want to edit, and click the small pencil icon underneath.
Seek the small pencil icon in the profiles screen to change autoplay settings. Click to expand.
Once you’ve clicked the pencil icon, scroll down to the bottom of the screen to adjust autoplay settings. You can choose to turn off just the autoplay of trailers, or disable the autoplay of the next episode in a season with Peacock as well.

Can you turn autoplay back on with Peacock?
Certainly. If you want to bring back autoplay with Peacock, all you need to do is open the settings back up and follow the instructions above, but in reverse.
