Whether you’re stuck inside and want to binge-watch a TV show with your friends, or you’re in a long-distance relationship and want to have a movie night, things just got easier thanks to Netflix Party. It’s a relatively new extension that allows you to sync Netflix sessions across multiple devices. You enter into a party with your friends and family and then can play and pause the content, switch between content, and chat in an embedded chatroom.

Getting Netflix Party
Getting the extension is straightforward. It’s the same process as grabbing any extension from the Chrome Web Store.
While Netflix Party is in the Chrome Web Store, it also works in the Chromium version of Microsoft Edge.
How to get the party started
Creating a party and inviting other people just takes a few clicks. You can then navigate around Netflix as usual and have the content sync across everyone’s devices.
To watch content on Netflix Party, it has to be available in the region that each member of the party is in. For example, you can watch a show that’s on Netflix in the UK and Canada inside a party. If you try to switch over to a show or movie that’s only available in one region, then the person who couldn’t normally view it will see an error message.
An easy way to enjoy content when you’re away
This extension lets you sync Netflix sessions across devices so you can watch with friends and family.
