Is there a way to turn this off for all accounts?

No, that is per-user setting, tbh don't remember what is the default state, enabled or disabled. In any case, you cannot make it system wide by single toggle, you'd need (as admin) to Edit each user preferences and disable it.

By default it is on, i have users who have a firestick hooked up to their tv for example and turn off the tv and episodes continue to stream in the background lol....

AS far as I can tell there is no way to set this for a user except to login to their account, it is not a setting I can see when I edit the user.

Dashboard>Users tab, select desired user>"Edit this user's profile, image and personal preferences." link (just above user Name field).

IIRC FireTV app will not inherit/honor that setting from Web app (so yourself making any User changes there won't have any effect), you'd need to advise your user(s) to either disable it from within app settings (Playback tab) or enable "Are you still watching?" prompt (in the same tab) in which case system will automatically stop after certain time has passed without user interaction.

I honestly did not realize that this was a link, lol, being in IT for 45 years you would think I would....

Happens to all of us, I've had a fair share of "bright as mud" moments of my own as well...

I advice my user to use a power rail with a master out led connected to there TV.

Then when turning of the TV everything connected is powered off.

That will also contribute to a lower power bill.
