How to Download and Install Netflix App for MacBook Air

If you're looking to enjoy your favorite Netflix shows and movies on your MacBook Air, there are a few steps you need to follow. While streaming up to 1080p is supported by Mac computers using Safari browser, there are some limitations compared to directly watching content on the app like you would on Windows or iOS devices. However, with the right web browsers and plug-ins, you can still enjoy Netflix on your MacBook Air.

Step-by-Step Guide to Installing Silverlight

If you're running macOS 10.9 Lion or earlier, you'll need to install a plug-in called Silverlight in order to watch Netflix movies or TV shows on your Macbook Pro/Air, iMac. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Open Safari and visit the official Silverlight website.

2. Sign in with your account and download the installation file (Silverlight.dmg).

3. When a dialog box opens, select 'Install Now'.

4. Once installed, open Netflix and select any title to play.

Alternatively, Use HTML5 Video Settings

If you're running macOS 10.10 Yosemite or above, Netflix is directly available in its native browser - Safari (latest version) - with built-in settings for html5 videos. This means that you can watch your favorite shows without the need for Silverlight.

How to Access Netflix on Macbook Air via Web Browsers

1. Open your preferred web browser.

2. Sign in with your Netflix account.

3. Select any title to play.

By following these steps, you should be able to enjoy your favorite Netflix content on your MacBook Air.
