Teleparty is a third-party extension that displays and syncs the same movie or TV show to an entire party while also providing a chat space for the group. With Teleparty, you can watch Netflix with someone that lives across the country from you, as long as they also have a Netflix account. Teleparty used to be known as Netflix Party but has since grown to show more than just Netflix, so the name changed to reflect that. This wikiHow will teach you how to install and use Teleparty on your Chrome or Edge browser.
Steps
-
Go https://www.netflixparty.com/ in an Edge or Chrome web browser. Since this addon is only compatible with Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome, you'll need to use one of those browsers to continue. Install the extension to your browser so you can join or host a Teleparty.- The website URL refers to "Netflix Party," but the name changed to reflect that the service hosts more than just Netflix.

Click Install Teleparty . You'll see this red button in the black bar that runs across the top of the page, and clicking it will redirect you to the appropriate extension or addon page. [1] X Research sourceAdvertisement -

Navigate to the video you want to watch. You can watch anything from Netflix, Hulu, Hulu+, Disney+, HBO NOW, or Max (formerly known as HBO Max) services, as long as each person in your group has access to the streaming service.- For example, a person who does not pay for a Disney+ account will not be able to join a Teleparty that's playing a Disney+ movie.
