If you’ve been social distancing for a couple of weeks now, you’ve probably been spending a lot of time using Netflix to catch up on television shows and movies. But, quarantining can be really lonely when you are separating yourself from friends and family. With “Netflix Party” you can connect with friends while watching Netflix!
The new Google Chrome extension “synchronizes video playback and adds group chat to your favorite Netflix shows.” After downloading the extension, you can watch whatever movies and shows you like on Netflix at the same time as your friends and family, regardless of how far away from each other you are as long as you both have Netflix accounts.
How Does it Work?
- Go to the website and click “Get Netflix Party for free!”
- This will take you to Chrome’s Web Store and then you’ll click “Add to Chrome.” This will prompt you with “Add Extension.”
- You’ll see the “NP” icon on the upper right side of your screen.
- Pick any film or movie you want and click the “NP” icon and copy and paste the URL of your selection.
- Click “Copy URL” and then send the link to whoever you like.
- The person you send the link to will open it and you can start your “Netflix Party” experience!
