When your show is almost complete, a card will appear in the bottom right hand corner of the screen. This card will describe the next episode that will be automatically played.

How to Auto Play

Auto Play is set to Prompt by default. You can set it to Play Next Episode in Settings > Playback > Auto Play.

While set to Play Next Episode, Channels will show a card describing the next episode. It will give you a countdown until it starts playing. Pressing the back button will cancel Auto Play. Clicking will jump to the next episode right away.

While set to Prompt, Channels will show the same card describing the next episode. You can select the card to automatically jump to the next episode. If you do nothing, your current episode will end as usual.

While set to Off, Channels will show nothing and the episode will end as usual.

Options

Channels offers the option to ignore watched episodes while auto playing. You can even set this option separatly for kids content since they watch shows differently.

Temporarily Turn Off Auto Play

While watching a show, you might feel like you’re getting sleepy. You can use the Info bar in the video player to temporarily disable Auto Play for your current watch session to ensure it doesn’t play the next episode.
