Just like TV shows, Netflix now has a voting option, allowing viewers to vote for their favorite contestants in a live show. This feature has been launched with the Star Search show in the US.

Netflix has now given its users incredible control. You can now vote for your favorite contestant in a Netflix show and help them win. This means you can participate in live voting during a show. This feature has been launched in the US and may be available in other markets, including India, in the future. Let's find out why this feature was introduced and how it works.

The show where it all began

Netflix says this feature has been introduced, keeping future streaming needs in mind. It has been launched with the live talent show Star Search in the US. In India, viewers already get the opportunity to vote during many reality TV shows. However, Netflix's feature is slightly different. On TV, it takes some time for the voting results to be announced, but on Netflix, the results are displayed immediately after the voting ends, adding to the drama of the live show.

How to vote?

Netflix has clarified that this feature can only be used by viewers who are watching the show live. If you watch a recording or rewind the show, you will not get the voting option. Viewers can only vote through smart TVs and the mobile app. The option to vote is not available on the website.

Netflix will also redesign its app.

Despite being the world's largest subscriber-based streaming service, Netflix is ​​lagging behind platforms like Instagram and YouTube in daily engagement. Considering this, the company is going to redesign its app. The new app will feature short vertical videos similar to Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. Additionally, users will get a personalized feed that includes trending clips, recommendations, and interactive prompts. To increase interaction, Netflix could also add options like polls, quizzes, and community discussions.
