Netflix Party: we will be separated, but we can watch series and movies together
Who was going to tell us that film clubs, reading clubs, video calls or telephone appointments they were going to come back into our lives with such force . Confinement fuels creativity and the desire to be together, despite the distance. That is why there are those who have created a Chrome browser extension that allows us to gather on the sofa with our friends and family to watch television together. That's how it is netflix party.
“Netflix Party is a new way to watch Netflix with friends and family online . Netflix Party synchronizes the video and proposes chat groups of your favorite programs”, this is how the creators of this extension that already has with more than a million users.
And how do we start this party? As simple as downloading the extension for Chrome and connect to Netflix from the same browser . We select the content we want to see and click on the extension (in those letters red NP that appear at the top right of the screen).
That the distance does not break a good viewing of series and movies with family or friends
Then, a link** will be created automatically** that we can share with all those who, through their Netflix account, will connect and be able to access the same content as us and at the same time. ¡ And we already have a lounge afternoon, popcorn and Netflix in the company!
THE NETFLIX PARTY CHAT
But of course, are we going to have to make a video call at the same time? or how is this going? Well, it goes with the best feature and the simplest: a chat that opens on the right of the screen , to be able to gossip, comment and point out the moments that we want of the content that we are enjoying in a group, albeit remotely.
This is a very basic chat , but if you want to get hold of all the chat possibilities (emojis, voice messages...) you can subscribe to the basic plan ($5 per month). Of course, it is not a subscription as such, but a patronage.
UPDATE, IT'S IMPORTANT!
From the website itself they indicate that, due to the almost global quarantine, the number of users has grown exponentially. That is why updates and improvements are a daily challenge for the development team. Thus, last Sunday, after suffering a platform crash and continuous errors, announced the work of a new version (1.7.7) that comes out today for free download.
So… to enjoy!
