Whether you want to acknowledge the contributions of the many “below-the-line” entertainment industry professionals who worked on your favorite streaming movies and TV shows, or you just want time to get a snack before the next episode rolls, it’s a good idea to turn on the “watch credits” option on your streaming service.

Netflix, Hulu, et. al. don’t necessarily make this super-easy to do—it should be opt-in, not opt-out—but here’s a guide for how to watch the credits on Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max, Hulu, and Disney+.

How to watch the end credits on Netflix

Here’s how to use Netflix’s website to change the “auto-play” setting for your account.

• Navigate to your Netflix account page.
• Click the profile with the setting you want to change.
• Click “Change” next to “Playback setting”

• From here, you can turn off the “auto-play next episode,” and turn off “autoplay previews” too. This should carry over to all devices that use this account.

You can also change this setting from your mobile device.

• Fire up the app.
• Click the account icon at the upper right corner.
• Click “manage profiles.”
• Select the profile you want to change.
• Unselect “Autoplay Next Episode” and “Autoplay previews” (if you want.

How to watch the end credits on Amazon Prime Video

If there is a way to change the autoplay settings from the Prime Video app, I can’t find it, so you’ll have to log onto the website to do it.

• Navigate to Prime Video’s front-page.
• Click the gear icon at the top right of the page.
• Click “Settings”
• Click “Player”
• Turn autoplay off. (And “autoplay trailers” too, if you want.)

How to watch the end credits on HBO Max

HBO Max gives you an “in-the-moment” option of watching the end credits as well as a permanent setting. To watch until the end of an individual episode by default:

• Apple TV: Press the Menu button on your Apple TV remote.
• Other TV devices: Press the back button on your remote.
• Phones, tablets, and computers: Choose the X beside the Next Episode button.

To permanently turn off HBO Max’s “skip to next episode” countdown:

• Sign in to the HBO Max homepage
• Choose your profile at the upper right of the screen.
• Click “Settings”
• Scroll down to “Playback” and switch off “auto-play next episode on this device.”

How to watch the end credits on Hulu

Hulu makes it relatively easy to control the auto-play feature from either the web or its streaming app.

From your streaming or Mobile device:

• Fire up Hulu
• Select the Account icon
• Choose Settings
• Switch Autoplay on/off

From the website

• Sign on to Hulu.tv
• During playback, click the gear icon to open the Settings menu
• Toggle Autoplay on/off

How to watch the end credits on Disney+

Disney+ lets you change the auto-play setting on your devices, but it’s in a little bit of a weird place. Here’s how it works:

• Navigate to the Disney+ Homepage
• Click the Profile icon at the top right of the screen.
• Click “edit profiles”
• Select a profile
• From here, you can click the Autoplay button to turn off the feature. As an added bonus, you can turn off “background play” as well.
