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.

    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.

    You'll see this blue button on the right side of the page, across from the extension's name and rating.
    • Click Add extension when prompted to continue.
    • You should see a "TP" next to your address bar, where you'd see your other extensions if you have any.

    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.

    It looks like a "TP" in the extension toolbar that's at the top of your page to the right of the address bar.

    You can also click to toggle the switch next to "Only I have control" if you don't want others in your party to be able to pause, skip, rewind, or stop what's on the screen.
  4. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/1\/1b\/Use-Teleparty-Step-7.jpg\/v4-460px-Use-Teleparty-Step-7.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/1\/1b\/Use-Teleparty-Step-7.jpg\/aid11834587-v4-728px-Use-Teleparty-Step-7.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Click Copy Party from the drop-down when you initially create the party or access the link from the chain icon in the top right corner of the Teleparty panel.
    • When you share the link, those who want to join your party need to enter that web address in their web browser. Once they get to that page, they will need to sign in to the streaming service that you're using, then click the extension icon to join the party. [2]
