automatic graphic switching

I've been watching netflix recently and my macbook screen flashes time to time and these flashes wont go away so i searched on the net and a lot of people are saying to turn off automatic graphic switching but i am unable to find this option in my battery settings. My laptop is a early 2015 macbook pro and updated to the latest big sur update. If anyone can help me find this setting or straight up just have the answer to fix the netflix problem please reply. Thanks

You do not specify if this is 13" or 15" MBP 2015...


The 13" only has one gfx card:




You will have no option to switch...


otherwise see—
