Everyone knows the hype of “movie night” comes from getting to experience it with friends and family. And while everyone is social distancing, people are scrambling to reconnect with loved ones any way they can. That’s where Netflix comes in to make us whole again.
Introducing: Netflix Party - the new way to binge your favorite shows and movies with friends online.
Netflix Party allows subscribers to synchronize their movie and TV streaming with friends, and add group chats to the experience for the perfect virtual movie night. Group chat not enough for you? Take it to the next level by starting a video chat at the same time.

To enjoy this new feature on Netflix, you’ll need to install the Netflix Party extension on your Chrome browser. You’ll click, “add to Chrome” to download and finish the install.
