Do you like programs in original version? On Netflix, it is very easy to change the font, size, color and language of the subtitles to adapt them to your tastes.
If you are a fan of series or cinema, you probably like to watch content in the original version (VO) to better appreciate the acting and fully immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the work. But unless you’re perfectly bilingual, you watch them with subtitles. Like other streaming video services, Netflix offers many settings to change the appearance of subtitles: font, text size and color, background or window color , the appearance and color of the drop shadow can thus be easily modified to adapt to your tastes and your vision. Not to mention of course the language, which you can change on the fly, while playing a film or series, to put them in French or English, for example, according to your preferences and your language skills.
This personalization is done both from a computer, with the web version of Netflix, and on a phone or tablet, via the mobile application. Note also that the modification of the subtitle display settings applies to all the devices on which the account is connected, and it is not necessary to repeat the operation by changing the medium.
