To watch Netflix together with friends or family remotely, you can use several popular methods that synchronize video playback and offer chat features:

Using Teleparty (formerly Netflix Party)

  • Install the Teleparty browser extension on Chrome or Edge.
  • Open Netflix and start playing the show or movie you want to watch.
  • Click the Teleparty (TP) button next to the address bar to create a watch party link.
  • Share this link with your friends; they need to install Teleparty as well.
  • Once everyone joins, playback is synchronized automatically, and you can chat in real-time alongside the video

Using Scener

  • Install the Scener extension for Chrome.
  • Create a Scener account and host a watch party selecting Netflix as the platform.
  • Invite friends via a unique link.
  • Scener adds video chat so you can see and hear each other while watching.
  • All participants must have Netflix accounts

Using Zoom or Other Video Conferencing Apps

  • Schedule a Zoom meeting and invite friends.
  • Share your screen with Netflix playing and enable "Share computer sound."
  • Everyone watches the stream together while chatting via video or audio.
  • Only the host needs a Netflix subscription, but stream quality may be lower than dedicated watch party tools

Additional Notes

  • Teleparty supports up to 50 people and works on desktop browsers only.
  • Scener supports smaller groups (up to 10 in private theater).
  • Mobile users can try apps like Rave for synchronized Netflix viewing and chat.
  • Everyone joining must have their own Netflix subscription for Teleparty and Scener, but not necessarily for Zoom screen sharing

These options allow you to enjoy Netflix together across distances with synchronized playback and social interaction. Teleparty is the most widely used and straightforward for browser users, while Scener adds video chat, and Zoom offers a flexible alternative without extensions.
