Netflix rolling out shuffle play feature

Transcript

If like some of us you’re too lazy to actually look for something to watch or you’re indecisive Netflix is here to help.

Netflix is testing out a new “shuffle play” feature where you can now let Netflix stream titles to you at random.

Like the automatically curated list of so-called “For You” titles, shuffle play takes content based on your viewing history or playlists.

But the new feature goes a step further, actually playing the selection.

If you don’t like what you see, you can skip ahead to the next title.

Right now shuffle play is available worldwide to a portion of Netflix users on connected TV devices like smart TV’s and Roku.

The company will use the results of the test to build a permanent shuffle play feature.
