1. An Internet Connection: Netflix requires a stable internet connection to stream movies and TV shows. The speed required depends on the quality you want to watch (higher quality = faster connection needed).
2. A Compatible Device: Netflix is available on a wide range of devices including:
* Smart TVs: Most newer smart TVs have Netflix built-in.
* Streaming Devices: Devices like Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, etc.
* Computers: You can access Netflix through a web browser on your computer (Windows, Mac, Linux).
* Mobile Devices: You can download the Netflix app on your smartphone or tablet (Android, iOS).
* Gaming Consoles: PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch.
3. A Netflix Account: You need to create a Netflix account with a valid email address and a payment method. You can choose from various subscription plans with different price points and features.
To summarize:
* You don't download the entire Netflix app or library; you stream content over the internet.
* You need a compatible device (TV, streaming device, computer, mobile device) with internet access and a Netflix account.
