<div><p>Picture this: You've just started watching the next episode of a Netflix show, and it plays the opening credits and intro. This isn't a bad thing, except that you've already seen the credits on the last five episodes you watched. You'd rather not. </p><p>Well, Netflix has made an announcement that will be good news for you! Right now, they're testing a new button that will allow you to skip the opening credits and start watching an episode right away.</p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/netflix_skip_intro_1490018690073.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/netflix_skip_intro_1490018690073_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/netflix_skip_intro_1490018690073_GH_content_650px.jpg 650w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/netflix_skip_intro_1490018690073_GH_content_750px.jpg 750w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/netflix_skip_intro_1490018690073_GH_content_850px.jpg 850w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/netflix_skip_intro_1490018690073_GH_content_950px.jpg 950w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/netflix_skip_intro_1490018690073_GH_content_1050px.jpg 1050w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/netflix_skip_intro_1490018690073_GH_content_1150px.jpg 1150w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/netflix_skip_intro_1490018690073_GH_content_1250px.jpg 1250w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img><figcaption class="op-vertical-center"><cite>Gadgets 360</cite></figcaption></figure></div><p>The "Skip Intro" button can be found on selected web-version shows including <em>House of Cards</em>, <em>Iron Fist</em>, <em>Mad Men</em>, <em>The Office</em>, <em>Friends</em>, and <em>Parks & Recreation</em>. All you have to do is hover over the time-elapsed bar, click the button, and you'll skip the entire intro without having to waste precious minutes of watching time. </p><div><amp-twitter height="472" width="375" layout="responsive" data-tweetid="842774339820933120"></amp-twitter></div><p>Although Netflix hasn't implemented the button permanently as of yet, it looks hopeful so far. A spokeswoman for the company <a href="http://www.theverge.com/2017/3/17/14959650/netflix-skip-intro-button">told the Verge</a>: "We perform hundreds of tests every year to help make the Netflix member experience better." </p><p>For me, it would make binge-watching an entire season of <em><a href="https://www.shared.com/the-adorable-moments-in-this-is-us-taught-these-life-lessons/">This is Us</a></em> a whole lot easier. Way to go Netflix! </p><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p>We want to hear from you! Is the new button something you would use or not? </p></div>
