After so long, I am prompted to click a button to prove that I haven't gone idle. This is an inconvenience to me, especially if I am watching Netflix on one monitor and gaming on another. For example, when playing Skyrim, ALT + TAB-ing can cause the game to crash. Surely, someone has come up with a way to trick Netflix by fauxing activity to make it appear as though I am not immersed in something else.
While other windows are active, is there a way to disable the "continue playing" feature of Netflix?

2To me, those looks like separate issues. This one is about a Netflix message popping up when Netflix is not the top-most window, while the other is about another playback issue.– Vidar S. RamdalAug 21, 2014 at 21:31

Yes, you can, copy/paste this into the JS console once your video starts playing: gist.github.com/coopermaruyama/2a704d13debb4e89adda– Cooper MaruyamaMay 28, 2015 at 2:17

@CooperMaruyama Thanks, looks promising. However, over the past year, I haven't been prompted with this. Unless I haven't been binge-watching like I used to, it's almost as if Netflix disabled this.– oscilatingcretinMay 28, 2015 at 9:15

I binge watch and I definitely still get it all the time.– Cooper MaruyamaMay 28, 2015 at 20:37

This feature can now be disabled. See the help article at:

I don't believe this solves the problem, this only disables the screen that appears after watching movie/episode, "Post-play". Mar 15, 2014 at 18:52
