How do I turn off autoplay on Roku's channel app?

I am using a Roku device connected to my tv. I cannot find a way to turn off autoplaying the next episode in Roku's app. 

I can disable autoplay in the Amazon, Netflix, Hulu apps on Roku but see no way to do it in the Roku app.

 

  • Hi julie_b,

    Welcome, and thank you for posting.

    We understand that you wanted to disable the autoplay on the Roku Channel. We're happy to help.

    Users can disable these in-app autoplay experiences by toggling Settings > Accessibility > Auto-play video to "Off" on their Roku device. If autoplay is disabled on a device, channels may not begin video playback until the user navigates to a video or explicitly starts playback.

    Further you can refer to this article here for more help.

    We hope this helps. Let us know if you have other inquiries.

    Regards,
    Janadee

      This didn't work. It still automatically plays the next episode. I need to know if this will be fixed. If not I will need to cancel Britbox and Acorn through the Roku channel.

        I tried that also and it doesn’t work for the Roku channel. I’m using a new roku ultra device. It’s really annoying! Every other channel or app allows you to turn off autoplay!

      Thank you so much for this information! It was really buried on my TV so I really appreciate your clearance instructions. Thank you very much.
