Watching Netflix Watch Party with loved ones when you can't be in a similar actual space isn't simply an issue of squeezing play simultaneously in the event that you need impeccably synchronized sound and video. Regardless of whether you press play at the very same time, the video is as a rule off, with somebody giggling or panting seconds before you, destroying the experience. That is the place where a program augmentation called Teleparty can act the hero.
With Teleparty, you can synchronize two or more Netflix accounts (or HBO, Disney+, or Hulu accounts) so everyone has exactly the same movie or TV show experience. To get started, you and your fellow watchers have to download and install the Teleparty browser extension (you need to use Edge on your Windows PC or download and install Chrome). Now you’re ready to start your shared viewing experience.
1. Once you have the extension installed, go to Netflix Party.
2. Look for a "TP" icon next to your browser address bar. If you don't see the "TP," click on the puzzle icon and pin the extension for Chrome. For Edge got Menu > Extensions > and toggle on TP.
3. Select a movie or TV show and start playing it.
4. Immediately hit pause.
5. You’ll notice that the “TP” next to the URL bar is now red. Now you can click on the red “TP” to launch Teleparty.
6. Choose whether anyone can control playback (starting, pausing, etc.) or click the box “Only I have control.”
7. Then click the box “Start the party.”
8. A box will pop up with the URL for your watch party. There you can also choose whether you want to have a chat window.
9. Copy the URL that pops up in the box and email it to anyone who wants to watch. Each person watching will need their own Netflix account and will need to log into if they are not already.
10. To end the party, click on the red “TP” at any point and select “Disconnect.”
Netflix Party (Teleparty) is meant to be used on a computer, not a streaming media player, so you can't just cast it to your Chromecast or you'll lose the party experience. To view a movie on your TV, you can use a cable to hook up your laptop to your TV. Most laptops have a video out port, which you'd use if you were hooking up your laptop to give a presentation. Follow your laptop manufacturer's instructions regarding the type of cable. And when you're hooked up, go into your computer's Display Settings to either replicate or send the video to your TV.
