Netflix is planning to make the streaming service more interactive and immersive via a number of new second-screen features. The new way to engage with Netflix was announced by the streamer's CTO Elizabeth Stone during the annual TechCrunch Disrupt conference.

Stone also announced a redesign for Kids profiles and more vertical videos. The interaction is taking different forms, including real-time polls, live party games and a more immersive homepage.

Some of these features have already been tested on a smaller scale like live voting. That could be seen during the live cooking show "Dinner Time with David Chang" this past August where the feature was used mostly for viewer polls.
