Amazon shares easy-to-miss Fire Stick trick that instantly fixes TV-ruining feature in three clicks

It may be as easy as clicking your remote three times to improve your Amazon Fire TV Stick.

There are some things you may wish to turn off because it’s difficult to create a TV experience that works for everyone.

Autoplay, which begins playing videos when you hover over them, is one contentious feature.

For some, it’s a nightmare, but for others, it’s a blessing.

To avoid autoplay, it may even have the strange consequence of making you scroll through products more quickly.

However, Amazon has provided a method for turning off autoplay, so you can stop putting up with it.

According to Amazon, “Autoplay is a fantastic method to sample material without ever pressing a button.

However, you may click to Settings > Preferences > Featured Content to turn off auto-play on the Fire TV Stick.

“After that, switch off Autoplay. There is nothing more to it than that.

The nice thing about it is that you can turn autoplay back on if you decide you don’t want it.

It should greatly improve the tranquility of browsing for movies or TV series.

Amazon wants you to try more than just one technique, though.

OTHER HANDY AMAZON FIRE TV TRICKS

You may also have overlooked Amazon’s X-Ray technique.

You can learn more about what you’re seeing thanks to this Amazon feature.

Although the service is completely free, you must be a Prime Video member to use it.

“X-Ray allows you to find out more information about content that you’re watching on Prime Video,” Amazon said.

“For example, you can pull up information like IMDb ratings, plot synopses, actors and characters, and more.”

When you’re watching something on Prime Video, you just push the “up” button on your Fire TV remote control.

After then, you can look through the X-Ray selections.

If you have a Fire TV set particularly, private listening is another fantastic trick.

You may enjoy television in quiet by pairing the Fire TV with a pair of wireless Bluetooth headphones.

The concept is to watch a loud action movie late at night without disturbing everyone in the house.

Simply navigate to the Controllers and Bluetooth Devices > Other Devices > Add Bluetooth Device option in the Fire TV’s settings.

Then just start pairing your headphones and watch TV while wearing them.

If you have a Roku TV, you can use this trick on it as well.
