Netflix has basically become a necessity in most people’s lives. It’s where we access all the best movies, TV and documentaries. Whenever a new sensational show comes out on Netflix, it’s clear just how much we all rely on Netflix. So that’s why it’s so important to stay on top of all the latest news and announcements the popular streaming service shares.
Netflix recently dropped a big slice of news. The streaming service is making a change to its viewing options that can make a big difference for how we watch our favorite shows.
You know how when you're watching Netflix while simultaneously playing on your phone and also eating a snack, you can miss some things that happen in your show and have to rewind? Well now you might not have to.
This week, Netflix made it possible for viewers to adjust their playback speeds. You can chage the pace from 0.5 or 0.75 times slower to 1.25 to 1.5 times faster.
With variable playback time options, you can make your shows just a little bit slower so you don't have to worry about missing things when you multitask. Or, if you're on a crunch for time you can speed up your show a little bit.
