How to Do a Watch Netflix Party and Virtually Invite Your Friends

As millions of people across the world continue to exercise social distance in response to the novel coronavirus epidemic, Netflix is assisting us in feeling connected to our loved ones with a new function called Netflix Party.

What exactly is Netflix Party?

Netflix Party is a Google Chrome plugin that allows you to watch movies and TV episodes online with friends and family. What distinguishes this extension is its ability to synchronize video playing, so if the group has to take a brief break to get more popcorn, everyone's screen will halt and restart at the same time.

Furthermore, a group chat function allows you to put up your opinions about the movie without having to pull out your phone or open another app.

How can I get the Netflix Party extension?

Following these instructions, you will be able to utilize Netflix Party in seconds after all invitees have a Netflix account and Google Chrome:

• Navigate to the Netflix Party website and click the "Install Netflix Party" button.
• Click "Add to Chrome" and then "Add Extension" after you've arrived at the Chrome Web Store.
• An "NP" icon will show in the top right-hand corner.
• Navigate to the Netflix website and choose a movie or television show to watch.
• Then, using the "NP" symbol, copy and paste the URL.
• Send the link to your friends so you can all watch it together!

If you receive a Netflix Party link, make sure you first install the extension. When you click the link, you will be sent to the Netflix website. Once there, click on the "NP" button in the upper right corner to join the watch party.
