As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Netflix still needed an official built-in feature for watch parties. However, third-party browser extensions or apps allow users to sync their Netflix playback with friends. Remember that the situation may have changed, and Netflix might have introduced an official watch party feature, or new third-party tools might be available.
Here's a general guide on how to do a watch party on Netflix using a third-party extension (please check for the latest tools, as they might have changed):
1.Choose a Browser Extension:
- There were extensions like "Netflix Party" (now called "Teleparty") or "Scener" available for popular web browsers like Chrome or Edge. You could search for these extensions in the respective browser's extension store.
2.Install the Extension:
- Once you've chosen an extension, follow the instructions to install it on your web browser.
3.Launch Netflix:
- Go to the Netflix website and log in to your account.
4.Select a Movie or TV Show:
- Choose the movie or TV show you want to watch.
5.Activate the Extension:
- Look for the extension icon in your browser toolbar and click on it. Follow the instructions to start a new watch party and invite your friends.
6.Share the Party Link:
- The extension will generate a link. Share this link with your friends, and they can join the watch party.
7.Enjoy the Movie Together:
- Once everyone has joined the party, the extension will sync the playback for all participants. You can chat with your friends while watching a movie or show.
Remember, the availability and features of third-party extensions can change, so be sure to check for the latest information and updates related to Netflix watch parties. Additionally, Netflix might have introduced an official watch party feature by now, so check their official communications or support pages for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
