Play Netflix Streams in Windows Media Player
Is it possible to play Netflix streams in Windows Media Player?
The answer is that you can not use Windows Media Player to directly play Netflix streams. As we all known that Netflix is one of the biggest video streaming sites which offers different subscription plans to individuals to watch popular movies and television shows on the go. However, the downloading feature is limited to iOS, Android, Amazon Fire and Windows 10 apps. For Windows PC, downloads are only supported machine running Windows 10 Version 1607 or later.
Additionally, all movies and TV shows from Netflix are streamed files which are limited to play in Netflix apps or though official website, and the other third-party video players like Windows Media Player, VLC or Quick Time Player have not listed Netflix streamed videos as one of the supported types for some reason.
