Password sharing has been the only option for those who are unable to pay for Netflix’s services. Those who can’t afford to pay can engage with the app through someone else’s Netflix account. But that is about to end as Netflix has planned to curb the non-paying customers. According to a latest report which said that Netflix will soon put a full stop to password sharing.
The new movie ‘Glass Onion’ created by Netflix makes $15 million at the box office with a limited release to only 600 movie theaters.
Back in April, Netflix made it clear that it wants to make password and account sharing a paid practice. Now, the streaming platform has an update on how it plans to implement paid sharing. According to this update, Netflix will prompt users to pay an additional fee if they use an account on a TV or TV-connected device at a location outside their primary household for over two weeks. Each additional home will cost an extra $1.17 USD to $2.99 USD depending upon the region.
Netflix is rolling out a new way to bring theater-like immersive audio to streaming customers worldwide — using existing stereo speakers. It has added spatial audio to a variety of movies and shows on its streaming video service. The audio format is available to all subscribers regardless of their subscription tier or their country. The new feature will work without the use of any extra accessories or equipment and will be particularly noticeable to users who use headphones.
At its annual Geeked Week event, Netflix announced a slew of new titles coming to its gaming service this year. A few of the new games are tied to some of Netflix’s most popular TV shows, including “The Queen’s Gambit,” “Shadow and Bone,” “La Casa De Papel” aka ‘Money Heist’ and “Too Hot To Handle.” The streaming service currently has 22 games available and plans to have 50 titles by the end of this year, some of which are already announced.
After years of resisting advertisements on its streaming services, Netflix is now open to offering lower-priced tiers with ads, co-CEO Reed Hasting said on Tuesday. He said during the company’s prerecorded earnings conference call, however, that it “makes a lot of sense” to offer customers a cheaper option.
During the first quarter of 2022, Netflix lost 200,000 customers. CNN+, the company’s latest streaming service, was shut down less than a month after it launched. Streaming services are dwindling in popularity.
