Stop autoplay of trailers above the icons, or even insensitive posters for young viewers

When you move the cursor onto an app in the apple tv menu like Netflix or apple tv itself, it starts to play a trailer for the latest movie or tv show. Which I don't want, there's no need to be forcing content on us especially right there. The Netflix app shows the last thing you watched which is helpful if youre watching a tv show but I have young children and as the tv might be on but not playing content some unsuitable shows have started playing if you select the appletv app. I walked into the room to see a violent horror scene playing in the background above the apple tv logo, which was incredibly shocking to my kids. It was their tv time and they were waiting for cartoons to be put on. This is unacceptable and unnecessary. Thousands of us had to fight with Netflix to allow us the option of re-adding the feature to turn off autoplay trailers while you're scrolling for content, why are companies trying to force us to watch things?

Ok found it, for anyone who needs it, the key word I needed was "previews" not trailers. It's in the settings under Accessibility -> Motion -> Auto-Play Video Previews - off.
