Disable preview autoplays on the macOS Apple TV app

Hello,


I really don't want want the previews to autoplay on the TV app on macOS, but I can't find any option that I can toggle to make them stop altogether. Anything I'm missing?


Note that I'm not talking about autoplaying the next episode, or suggested content. I can find the toggles for those. But I really want to stop the previews from autoplaying (just like I do on tvOS and iOS).


(I just really don't want anything autoplaying anywhere.)


Thanks in advance!

At this time, there is only a pause button to halt the preview playback.

For more options, you will have to persuade Apple to add that in a future release. Feedback - Apple TV app - Apple.
