Netflix announced Wednesday that it will let you download videos and watch them even if your device isn't connected to the internet.
However, there appear to be some limitations. Not all videos will work with the new offline mode. Netflix hasn't released a full list of compatible shows, but it appears to mostly include Netflix Originals like "Narcos" and "Stranger Things."
Amazon Video, which offers thousands of free TV shows and movies for Prime members, lets you download just about any video for offline viewing. Netflix appears to be taking a more cautious approach to video downloads for now.
Netflix downloads work on iOS and Android devices. You'll see a download button on shows that are available for offline viewing.
