How to Skip the Introduction in Netflix

For the audience’s enjoyment, TV show producers put a lot of effort and originality into their intros. Watching every new episode, especially if you’re binge-watching, may get old.

When you want to skip straight to an episode of any show, Netflix added the Skip Intro option only a few years back. Even if it already makes things more convenient, it might be inconvenient to constantly grab for the remote or the computer mouse to skip the intro.

Luckily, there is a method to have Netflix skip the opening automatically. We’ll demonstrate the process to you today.
