In this article, we will show you three options to download Netflix movies on your Macbook Air, each with its own pros and cons. Let's get started!


Option 1: Use a Virtual Machine to Run Windows and Netflix App




A virtual machine is a software that allows you to run another operating system inside your current one. For example, you can run Windows inside your Mac OS using a virtual machine software like Parallels. This way, you can access the Windows Netflix app, which supports offline playback of Netflix content.


Here are the steps to use a virtual machine to download Netflix movies on your Macbook Air:


  • Download and install Parallels Desktop for Mac from Parallels website. You will need to purchase a license or sign up for a free trial.



  • Launch Parallels Desktop and follow the instructions to create a new virtual machine. You will need to download and install Windows 10 or Windows 11 inside the virtual machine. You will also need a valid Windows license or sign up for a free trial.



  • Once you have set up your virtual machine, launch it and open the Microsoft Store app. Search for and install the Netflix app.



  • Open the Netflix app and sign in with your account. Browse for the movie you want to download and tap the Download icon next to it.



  • Wait for the movie to finish downloading. You can check the progress in the Downloads section of the app.



  • To watch the downloaded movie, go to the Downloads section of the app and tap Play next to it.



The advantage of this option is that you can download any movie that is available for offline playback in the Windows Netflix app. The disadvantage is that you need to pay for Parallels Desktop and Windows licenses, which can be expensive. You Option 2: Use an iPhone or iPad to Download Netflix Movies and AirPlay Them to Macbook Air




AirPlay is a feature that allows you to wirelessly stream content from your iPhone or iPad to your Macbook Air or other Apple devices. You can use AirPlay to watch downloaded Netflix movies on your Macbook Air, as long as you have an iPhone or iPad with the Netflix app installed.


Here are the steps to use AirPlay to download Netflix movies on your Macbook Air:


  • Download and install the Netflix app on your iPhone or iPad from the App Store. Sign in with your account.



  • Browse for the movie you want to download and tap the Download icon next to it.

  • On your iPhone or iPad, go to the Downloads section of the Netflix app and tap Play next to the movie you want to watch.



  • The movie will start playing on your Macbook Air via AirPlay. You can control the playback using your iPhone or iPad.



The advantage of this option is that you can use your existing iPhone or iPad and you don't need any additional software or hardware. The disadvantage is that you need a stable Wi-Fi connection and you can't use your iPhone or iPad for other tasks while streaming.


Option 3: Use a Screen Recorder to Capture Netflix Movies on Macbook Air




A screen recorder is a software that allows you to record anything that is displayed on your screen. You can use a screen recorder to capture Netflix movies on your Macbook Air, as long as you have a browser that supports Netflix streaming, such as Safari, Chrome, or Firefox.
