Netflix is changing the game by testing out a pop-up player, making us even more addicted to the service than we already are.
According to Engadget, Netflix’s pop-up ability will be part of its web interface that allows users to keep watching their favorite shows or films on a small window while they do other things. You’re probably already familiar with this feature thanks to Facebook, which now utilizes the pop-out window for users who are constantly scrolling but want to watch someone’s video.
Not everyone who uses Netflix will get to test this feature; as with most Netflix tests, the service only allows a small portion of their audience to use the new technology. But for those of us who multitask, this new feature will be a boon if it becomes part of Netflix’s official interface. Just think–you can watch all of Stranger Things, Nailed It, She’s Gotta Have It and other titles featuring Black talent all while you do your business on the internet!
However, Engadget reports that subtitles aren’t yet available on the pop-up window feature, which limits its use at this time. So that’s something they’ll have to work on, especially since one of the fantastic things about Netflix is its foreign film and television library. If the pop-out feature passes the test, though, let’s hope the final version will be equipped to give us the subtitles we’ll surely need to binge watch our favorite foreign titles.
