Web steps
Disable autoplay using web interface
Unfortunately, you can't disable autoplay of trailers on Amazon Prime Video directly from your Android device. You have to use a web browser for it. First, navigate to Primevideo.com and sign into your account. Choose your profile and navigate to "Accounts and Settings." Locate "Player" or "Playback" settings and search for an option labeled "Turn off autoplay trailers." Toggle this setting off to prevent trailers from automatically playing.
Sync settings
Apply changes across devices
After making changes in the web interface, you need to enforce them on your Android device by closing and reopening the Amazon Prime Video app. This action triggers the app to synchronize with the updated settings you made on the web, which now include disabling trailer autoplay. Now, enjoy browsing Amazon Prime Video on your Android device without the annoyance of autoplaying trailers.
