Could you listen to the series The Queen's Gambit or the movie Love Actually simply in audio format? The streaming platform is offering a few privileged users the ability to remove the video from their content and listen only to the audio via the application on their phone. Given the growing success of podcasts, Netflix seems to be looking for its share of the market.

"We're always looking for new ways to improve the Netflix mobile experience for our members," a Netflix spokesman declared in a statement to entertainment publication Variety. "We run tests in different countries and for different periods of time – and only make them broadly available if people find them useful."
