this new feature thrills us and we explain why

On Thursday, November 5, 2020, Netflix unveiled a new feature. While some seem puzzled by this novelty, aufeminin's editorial staff are quite excited.

This is still a testing phase and not all Netflix subscribers are taking advantage of this feature yet. But it could be a game-changer in the way we use this streaming platform.

On Twitter, the streaming platform explains this feature created only in France: “Since today, we are testing a new“ Direct ”function with some of you, only via the web browser. It allows you to watch defined programs, at any time of the day. No need to choose, just up to you let it go! "

The principle is simple: it will allow you to see predefined programs live, just like our good old TV channels. Of course, this online TV service will not prevent you from watching the programs offered live at any other time of your day. On Twitter, we have seen some skeptics deplore a need, according to them, for Netflix to compete with the channels. From our side, this new feature excites us enough. By rediscovering the principles of television, we are less deadlocked in the face of the multitude of programs that Netflix offers on its platform. Faced with the difficulty of choosing, live lets us know in advance what to watch during the day or in the evening. Also note that, unlike television, these live programs will not overwhelm us with long and polluting advertising pages. Netflix therefore seems to have found the perfect compromise to satisfy its undecided users.
