How to watch Netflix with friends online?
Netflix & Chill (with friends)
Everyone is binge-watching TV shows on Netflix and really are up-to-date on every single movie and TV series. Everybody likes to talk about the shows that they’ve watched and also want their friends to watch them and then discuss it or just want to watch shows/movies with their long distance friends and share the experience and watch each other’s reactions. Do you think it is possible to just watch Netflix with your friends online?
Well, Yes. There are many ways where you can just sit at your home and watch Netflix or other streaming platforms together with your friends and chat (of course). No, I’m not talking about video chatting on Zoom and sharing-screen… Nope! There are some really cool ways to do it while having the exact experience of like watching alone at home on TV/Laptop.
Netflix Party
It is in the name… ‘Party’!! Netflix Party is a chrome extension that allows you to watch Netflix with friends by making a group which all your friends can join and watch while having chat ON on the screen.
Conditions :

- Pause the movie/show, click on the NP extension on the top right
- Select ‘Watch Party’
- Copy the link and send it to friends to join the party
and that’s it. You are hosting a Netflix Watch Party sitting at your home. The only thing that is limited in NP is that only text chat is available. Yes, you can’t talk to them or see them while watching the show. To overcome this we have another extension that will allows you to video chat with your friends while watching Netflix.
