When you have high-speed internet, streaming is a seamless way to enjoy free time. Whether you love TV series or movies, binge-watching is a popular activity with friends or family, especially through Netflix®. Not only is it one of the oldest streaming services, but it also boasts one of the most extensive collections. Here's how to get the most out of your daily experience.

How to Improve Your Netflix Streaming Experience

1. Optimize for HD

With a high-speed internet connection, it's always worthwhile to set up high-definition viewing. The Netflix HD toggle setting can be accessed through your browser, where you can select "High." Note that if you have a limited data plan, it's best to choose "Auto" so that you don't exceed your allotted data. 

2. Download for Offline Viewing

If you have a long bus commute or an upcoming vacation, don't rely on public Wi-Fi to stream. Instead, download the show or movie beforehand using your own high-speed internet. 

This will make the viewing experience much better since you won't be worrying about lag or pixelated images. Best of all, this trick can be done on the mobile app as well as a laptop.

3. Delete Irrelevant Titles

If curiosity ever gets the better of you or a family member, you can always pretend it never happened by deleting those titles from the viewing history. Find this feature by going to your account's profile and selecting "Viewing Activity." From there, delete the unwanted episodes or movies one by one. Not only can this save you from some embarrassment, but it can also help the streaming service's algorithm tailor its suggestions to what you genuinely enjoy.

4. Customize Subtitles

If you watch a lot of foreign films and series, you may find subtitles difficult to read. This happens a lot when light-colored lettering appears over a white background. Luckily, Netflix has a feature that allows the customization of the size, color, font, and other attributes of subtitles. Go to the account profile and select "Subtitle Appearance" to find a style that works best for overall viewing, or tailor the text for each film or show you watch.
