Before we rented DVDs and now we subscribe to Netflix. Times have changed, but the urge to watch movies and series with friends is no longer: sitting around the TV enjoying a good movie with family will never go out of style.
Due to the state of confinement that we have because of covid-19, it's difficult (if not impossible) to get together with friends to enjoy those group film moments.
Probably for this reason, Netflix introduced Netflix Party, is an app that works like an extension of Google Chrome and allows you to watch the same movie with your friends at the same time and chat on screen while doing so.
If you're the kind of person who can watch a movie without discussing the plot, Netflix Party is the application you need to make the setting more portable.
However, keep in mind that all friends who want to see a movie with you should have their own Netflix account or, at the very least, be able to access one.
For the Netflix Party to work, everyone must have a Chrome browser and a Netflix Party extension. You will have to use the Chrome desktop version, because the extensions are not compatible with mobile types. That means you can't see it on your iPad, iPhone or Android.
To get started with Netflix Party, head to it netflixparty.com then click & # 39; Install Netflix Party & # 39 ;. On the next screen, click & # 39; Add to Chrome & # 39; You will see a & # 39; NP & # 39; icon appear in the top right of the browser window.
Now open Netflix and start playing the movie. Click the NP icon at the top of the window. By default, all guests can control the Netflix group, but you can change this by checking the box. To start a Netflix party click on & # 39; Start a party & # 39 ;.
This popup will now provide a sharing link you can send to your friends. Click & # 39; Copy URL & # 39; to add it to your clipboard, and paste it in an email or instant message to your friends.
You and your friends chat together by simply typing in the wild to the right of the movie and hitting & # 39; Enter & # 39;
To end the Netflix party, click the & # 39; NP & # 39; s icon and select Diskix & # 39 ;. And now yes: enjoy the time to separate yourself from your friends!
