The internal video player of WhatsApp allows you to play the videos YouTube, Facebook or Instagram without leaving the application, both in the chat as a floating window. And now Netflix is added to the select group of compatible service: any movie or tv series shared on WhatsApp allows you to view the trailer without leaving the application.
Share video links in messaging applications such as WhatsApp not only allows you to publicize new content, also the recipient can view it without having to quit applications. WhatsApp is one of the services that have enabled its own video player, though it does not work with all platforms. For example, you can play YouTube videos, Instagram and Facebook without leaving WhatsApp. Or Netflix, who don’t see the series or movie: the messaging application just premiered the display of trailers.
The novelty it has been discovered by Android Police: WhatsApp has turned on the video player for all the shared links from Netflix. This option takes months in the release of WhatsApp for iOSbut , until now, had not been unlocked on Android. And it is really useful if you are used to sharing your series and favorite movies by WhatsApp.
Despite the fact that the player of the messaging application can play content from Netflix, don’t think that you’ll be able to see the film or full chapter as only display the progress or trailer. Even so, it works great to discover if what they have shared with you is not interesting: just click on the play button for the trailer to play. And not only is displayed in the chat window, the player remains in a floating window when you switch between conversationsand even when you minimize WhatsApp (by clicking on the Home). This is very useful to perform other tasks while the trailer of Netflix playing in the background, both with video and with audio.
To view the trailer for Netflix you do not need a specific version of WhatsApp: the company has activated the support from the side of the servers. You can share movies or videos directly from the Netflix application for Android; and to visualize them easily in the chat, so if what you shared you as if what they shared with you.
