How to Opt Out of Netflix's Test Ads Between Episodes (While You Still Can)

Netflix has begun testing video promo ads between episodes, sparking widespread frustration among viewers. If you value uninterrupted binge sessions, you can disable this feature for now.

These ads promote Netflix originals and appear unexpectedly between episodes of any show on the platform.

They're less intrusive than some rivals like Hulu, but still unwelcome surprises. This test targets users with a specific setting enabled, so it could hit anyone.

How to Disable Netflix Test Ads

To opt out, log into your Netflix account in a web browser and follow these steps:

1. Click your profile picture in the top right corner and select Settings.
2. In Settings, click Exam Participation.
3. Toggle off the option: Include me in tests and previews.

If Netflix rolls this out permanently, an opt-out may no longer be available.
