These days, it seems like everyone has Netflix. But is everyone fully utilizing the service? Are they getting their money's worth, devouring the films and shows they like in the most efficient manner? Here are some Netflix tricks, hacks, and add-ons to enhance the streaming experience.

While a lot of people watch Netflix on a smart TV, countless more binge-watch shows and movies the old-fashioned way: on a laptop or desktop computer. Netflix's instant viewing service was available on computers long before smart TVs came along, and there are some basic functions of watching that way that are still embedded in the Netflix API.

Like most any other computer program, Netflix's streaming code responds to "hot keys," or "keyboard shortcuts," meaning certain functions are performed by pressing specific keys - no use of the mouse with its pointing, clicking, and locating menus necessary. They're also intuitive, meaning the keys do exactly what you expect. Hitting the space bar pauses, and then resumes, a video; striking "F" allows Netflix to take up the device's entire screen; "escape" shrinks the video back down; and tapping the left and right arrows will rewind and fast-forward, respectively, by ten seconds. Audio can also be toggled, too: the "M" mutes, while the up and down arrows adjust the volume accordingly.

Even a casual scroll through Netflix will reveal a few examples of the service's intricate categorization system. Thanks to complicated algorithms that factor in an individual's viewing history, it will recommend exactly the kinds of content it thinks a user will want to watch, such as "Thrillers Featuring a Strong Female Lead" or "Goofy Showbiz Movies." Netflix has thousands of these classifications and they've all got an assigned code number for the sake of clean data storage. Keep watching the video to see all the best Netflix hacks you didn't know existed!
