Netflix has confirmed that it’s testing a feature that lets you skip back to the beginning of the scene you just watched. The pop-up message only appears for certain stand-out scenes, though Netflix subscribers who’ve seen it seem to find it annoying more than anything else.
Imagine you’re watching the latest Netflix hit and, after a particularly noteworthy scene — whether it’s intense, hilarious, crazy, or just plain raunchy — a message pops up to ask if you want to replay it.
Well, this is exactly what’s happening to select Netflix subscribers in a trial that could see the feature rolled out to everyone.
Appearing as a pop-up at the end of particular scenes in a small number of Netflix originals and licensed content, the streaming site has been offering viewers the chance to replay a scene with a single click of a button or tap on the screen.
