Here is How You Can Download Netflix Movies and Shows on Windows

The year is 2020 and streaming apps are all around us, be it Netflix or Disney+, Amazon’s Prime Video or, the half a dozen other apps that have recently entered the market. Netflix, the original streaming giant, is still one of the most used streaming services around the world with millions of users, thanks to their international presence and giant catalog of content, from all around the world.

Netflix is also ahead of its competitors in another area – its presence on almost every platform imaginable. From tv boxes to gaming consoles like Xbox and PS4, to smartphone operating systems and, obviously, PC operating systems like Mac and Windows, Netflix is present everywhere.

Where it’s not, like the Linux operating system, you can easily watch it on a web browser. However, one functionality is missing from the web-based Netflix application – it doesn’t allow you to download your favorite movies and shows to your local machine – meaning you can’t watch it without a working internet collection.

The Netflix Windows application also supports offline streaming for compatible movies and shows, allowing you to watch these later even without an internet connection. Here is how you can do it,
