It looks like the influence of TikTok is pretty strong. After Instagram introduced a new TikTok-like feature named Reels a while ago, Netflix is reported to be following in the footsteps as well by setting up similar stuff. Today, it is announced that a new feature called Fast Laughs will be starting to roll out on Netflix, offering videos that come in short format to entertain the users.

Based on a statement by theverge.com, it seems that Netflix could allow viewers to watch shows and movies from as slow as 0.5x all the way up to 1.5x speed very soon. While not much is known in regards to when this feature will be available to Malaysians, we do know that viewers will be required to opt-in to this feature whenever they’re watching a new series or movie so that they won’t accidentally watch at a slightly slower or faster speed.

It seems that a Google Chrome extension has recently popped up, which allows you to watch Netflix with your friends at the same time over the internet. All you need to do is download the extension, then open the video on Netflix, create a party and send out the URL to your friends to watch together.
