While Netflix offers a vast library of streaming content, downloading movies for offline viewing is only possible through the dedicated Netflix app, not the web browser. Here’s how to download movies on Netflix using your laptop:
1. Download and Install the Netflix App:
- Visit the Microsoft Store and search for “Netflix.”
- Download and install the official Netflix app.
2. Locate Downloadable Content:
- Launch the Netflix app and log in to your account.
- There are two ways to find downloadable content:
- Click the hamburger menu (three horizontal lines) in the top-left corner.
- Scroll down and select “Available for Download.”
- Alternatively, you can search for a specific movie or TV show and look for the download icon (downward arrow) next to the title.
3. Download your chosen movie:
- Once you’ve found a movie you want to download, click the download icon next to it.
- Depending on your internet speed and the movie’s size, the download may take some time.
4. Accessing Downloaded Content:
- Downloaded movies and shows can be found in the “Downloads” section of the Netflix app.
- Click “Downloads” from the menu or locate the dedicated “Downloads” tab.
- You can now watch your downloaded content offline, even without an internet connection.
Important points to remember:
- Not all movies and shows on Netflix are available for download due to licensing agreements.
- Downloaded content might have expiry dates, so be sure to check the information within the app.
- The number of downloads allowed may be limited depending on your Netflix subscription plan.
