Private invites
Host a party and share its invite with the people you want to watch with. Join from your own browser and account.
Watch Netflix together, wherever you are.
Start a private watch party, invite your people, and keep the same Netflix title in sync. Each viewer watches on their own Netflix account in a supported desktop browser.
Your Netflix account stays yours.
Watch Party coordinates playback in your browser. It does not stream Netflix video or ask for your Netflix password. Everyone needs access to the same title through their own Netflix account.
Playback stays together
Play, pause, and seek in the Netflix player. Watch Party sends playback updates to the other viewers in the room.
Optional room chat and calls
Talk or message while you watch. Microphone and camera are opt-in, so you choose when to join a call.

Host and invite your people

Open the same Netflix title

Netflix watch party questions
Does Watch Party provide Netflix?
No. Each person streams from their own Netflix account, and must be able to access the title. Watch Party coordinates playback; it does not relay video.
Can I watch Netflix with friends in another home?
Yes. Host a private party and invite guests to join from their own desktop browsers. Availability of a title depends on each viewer’s account and region.
Which browsers can I use?
Watch Party currently supports desktop Chrome and Microsoft Edge with the extension installed and enabled.
Do I have to turn on camera or microphone?
No. Voice and video calls are optional. You can watch together without enabling either one.
