Teleparty (formerly Netflix Party) is generally considered safe to use if you install the official extension and use it carefully, but there are a few risks to keep in mind.

How Teleparty handles safety

• The official Teleparty extension does not store your streaming service passwords and requires each person to log into their own Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, etc., which helps keep accounts secure.

• Sessions use unique invite links and only people with that link can join, reducing random drop‑ins; the service also uses encryption and typically does not retain chat history long‑term.

Main risks and what to watch for

• Fake or copycat “Teleparty/Netflix Party” extensions have existed and some were caught collecting browsing data or injecting malicious code, so only install from official browser stores and verify the publisher name and reviews.

• As with any group chat, anything typed in the Teleparty chat is visible to all participants, so avoid sharing personal details, and be extra cautious if kids are using it or if links are shared publicly where strangers can join.

Tips to use Teleparty more safely

• Install the extension only from the official Chrome Web Store or Edge Add-ons listing and keep it updated.

• Share party links only with people you know, avoid posting them in public forums, and consider using antivirus or a browser with built‑in protection to help block malicious ads or redirects that might appear around streaming sites.
