HBO Max is introducing its own own shuffle button for desktop users this week. Instead of acting as a “play something” button, HBO Max’s new function would shuffle programmes in a chronological order. To put it another way, if you know you’re in the mood to watch Friends or South Park but aren’t sure where to begin, the button will take care of the research.
According to HBO Max, the button is one of the most often requested features. Streaming competitors such as Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu, among others, have experimented with shuffle functionality on their own mobile applications. There are 45 shows available on HBO Max that have the shuffle function enabled at the time of writing, giving you a total of 45 alternatives for mindless streaming the next time you’re stuck for something to watch.
The function, which was debuted on Tuesday, is now available on HBO Max on desktop computers throughout the world.
