The streaming service Netflix introduces a new download content feature on more devices, the option uses spacial audio for more than 700 titles. The platform makes both new features available at no extra charge for its premium users.
According to the streamer, premium subscribers are able to download Netflix titles to watch offline on six devices at a time. Previously, the plan would only allow downloads on four supported devices at once.
“With people more connected than ever through multiple devices, we’ve learned through research that members would like the option to download Netflix series and films to watch offline on more devices, particularly as they travel and switch between devices,” Rishu Arora, Director of Product Management at Netflix wrote in the official blog post.
The company said users don’t need any special equipment to make active or use spacial audio. It also added a new spatial audio badge to the title cards on movies and shows, making the search easier for users.
Netflix is not the first streamer to implement spatial audio features, Disney+, Hulu, HBO Max and others already have such features.
