This Chrome Extension Lets You Have A Long-Distance Netflix Party!

With social distancing as the new universal mandate, a lot of our regular rituals have now been disrupted, including binge-watching Netflix with our best friends. As more people around the globe begin to go into self-isolation and quarantine, it becomes more difficult, and even more important, to stay connected to those we love, and continue doing the things that bring us closer. And if watching and judging a Netflix flick together is that activity for you and your group of friends, this Chrome extension will let you do, just, that. 

 

 

Netflix Party is a free extension by Google Chrome that allows you to stream TV shows and movies on Netflix, together in a group. It synchronizes video playback, so that you and anyone else who downloads it, can watch one particular thing, at exactly the same time. Not only that, it also adds a Group Chat feature to your favourite TV shows and movies, meaning you and your friends are now free to discuss how amazing the lead actor's outfit is, how hard that one scene made you laugh, or how predictable the ending was, with the same scene happening on all your screens. Basically watch, discuss and critique a Netflix flick together with a group of people, regardless of where you are in the world! 

 

Long-distance movie nights, anyone?
