Netflix today is launching a new feature that will allow users to interact with live content through voting. The streaming company said the option will be available with the premiere of its live-streamed talent show\u00a0\u201cStar Search<\/a>\u201d on January 20.<\/p>\n

Subscribers will be able to either pick a selection from a multiple-choice menu or rate someone\u2019s performance on a scale of five stars. Votes can be cast using either a TV remote or the Netflix app. <\/p>\n

Netflix said that the feature will work globally, and on the backend, the platform will tally votes in real-time. Viewers will have a limited time to vote, and once that time has lapsed, additional votes won\u2019t count. That means if you\u2019re watching the show later, you can\u2019t participate in the voting. <\/p>\n

The streamer started testing live voting<\/a> in August 2025 with \u201cDinner Time Live with David Chang.\u201d During TechCrunch Disrupt 2025,<\/a> the company\u2019s CTO, Elizabeth Stone, confirmed that the company would soon launch the feature widely.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re sitting at home watching \u2018Star Search\u2019 on your TV, you\u2019ll be able to either on the TV or your mobile phone actually put in a vote that advances or doesn\u2019t advance some of the contestants on the show,\u201d Stone had said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo it\u2019s just a very early starting example of the ways that we think content can be more interactive over time, across devices, between TV and mobile, where a member who subscribes to Netflix can actually feel like they\u2019re part of the story, influence the storyline, and feel immersed in that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Netflix has heavily leaned in to live content with shows like \u201cEverybody\u2019s Live with John Mulaney\u201d and \u201cDinner Time Live with David Chang,\u201d along with sports broadcasts, including the NFL Christmas special<\/a> and WWE shows. In October, the company launched interactive games that people can play on their smart TVs<\/a>. Netflix is now merging both these threads into one by launching live voting.<\/p>\n
