At the moment, it is only possible to use Netflix Party as an extension on Google Chrome web browser, while logged into your Netflix account. The extension allows you to watch shows or films at the exact same time as friends, with joint control over play and pause.
But with Google Chrome extension Netflix Party, you can synchronise what you're watching with friends, and even chat along with the show as if you were all sat together sharing a big bowl of popcorn. Although it can be very entertaining – there are, after all, plenty episodes of Stranger Things, Grace and Frankie, Narcos and Black Mirror to watch – it could get a little lonely. If you're facing a few days or weeks in isolation or quarantine amid the Covid-19 pandemic, Netflix has likely become your best friend.
