You must miss hosting movie nights with your family and friends or most times, you don’t. Being a host of a binge-watching party doesn’t come easy. You need to fill your fridge with drinks and beer, ready the popcorn, and clean after the mess once it’s over.

There’s a better solution for you. Set a virtual movie night with them instead without the hassle. Simply install the Netflix Party Chrome extension that allows people to watch Netflix movies/TV shows together. This tool also has a chat feature where you can communicate in real-time while watching a movie.

Everyone in the group must have their own individual Netflix account in order to use the Netflix Party. You can host the Netflix Party up to 50 people, which is a huge audience.

Let’s get a closer look at the Netflix Party features, how it works, and how to install it on Google Chrome, shall we?

Netflix Party Features

Netflix Party is a tool that connects people by watching Netflix movies/shows online with other people. Users can use the Chrome extension to sync Netflix playback with friends or watch together with their family members from their respective rooms.

You can also chat in real-time on-screen about the turn of events in the movie and so on.

How Does Netflix Party Work?

Netflix Party only works as an extension exclusively for Google Chrome, so it’s not available on non-Chrome desktop browsers. It does not support Android, iOS, games consoles, or streaming boxes either. It means you need to use the Netflix Party extension from Chrome on a desktop operating system. The best thing is it’s free to download.

You and your friends can watch via the official Netflix site in your country without the need for VPN connections, mirrors, proxies, or tricky portals. That’s why everyone in the group should have their own Netflix account to access the movie or the TV show playing.

Another cool feature of Netflix Party is it supports HD videos and fast buffering. While chat is enabled, it doesn’t support video or voice chat.

How To Install Netflix Party

To install the Netflix Party, head over to the Chrome Web Store’s extension listing. Add to Chrome in the upper-right corner and tap add an extension when notified to finish the installation.

Now you can set out a plan to host a virtual movie night one of these days. It’s easy as 123. Just follow the steps below.

  • Head to Netflix and sign into your account.
  • Navigate to the movie or TV show you want to watch.
  • Wait for the Netflix Party Chrome extension’s icon to turn red (labeled NP).
  • Click on the NP button.
  • Choose whether you want to retain control over video playback.
  • Click Start the party.
