The worst part of social distancing? Being away from your friends for so long. (Even introverts will start to crave brunches with friends soon.) If you’re already feeling a little lonely, or are just bored and want to connect with your friends, check out Netflix Party.
The new feature from popular streaming service Netflix allows you and your friends to watch shows together online. Netflix Party synchronizes video playback and adds group chat to the show you’re watching.
Currently, the feature is only available on Chrome browsers and you must have a Netflix account to join. Here’s how to get started: Install Netflix Party here, open a Netflix video, create a party and then send out the party link to friends. You can even customize your Netflix Party with user icons, nicknames, emojis, GIFS and more. For more information, visit netflixparty.com.
