Apps That U Can Watch Movies With Friends

Movie night! But your bestie lives, like, across the country? Don't worry, tech to the rescue!

The Usual Suspects (and My Hot Takes)

Ah, Netflix Party. The OG of remote movie watching. Everyone gets their own snacks, which, let's be honest, is the best part.

Unpopular opinion: The chat window gets too distracting. I end up reading instead of watching.

Another big player, Amazon Prime Video Watch Party. If you're already a Prime subscriber, it's super easy.

But does anyone really watch movies on Prime? I'm just saying...

For all you Disney adults (no shame!), there's Disney+ GroupWatch. Perfect for reliving your childhood favorites.

I'm not crying, you're crying! Especially during "The Lion King".

Scener works with various streaming services. That's pretty cool.

It also lets you do video chat alongside the movie. I feel like I'm actually with my friends...virtually, of course.

Hulu Watch Party is a solid option, especially if you’re into Hulu's originals.

Let’s be honest, we all secretly watch "The Kardashians" on Hulu. Don't lie!

Yup, good old Discord. You can stream your screen to your friends.

It's not designed for movies, but it works in a pinch. Plus, everyone already has Discord anyway, right?

Plex Watch Together is for those who have their own personal movie library. Ahem.

Just don't get caught...watching that movie you "totally bought". We’ve all been there.

Okay, I'm just gonna say it. Sometimes, just texting each other while watching the same movie separately is better.

Hear me out! You can pause whenever you need a snack refill or bathroom break. No awkward "WAIT UP!" messages.

Plus, you can rewind without annoying everyone. It’s a win-win!

So many apps, so little time (and popcorn). Pick one, gather your friends, and hit play!

Just remember to mute yourself during the good parts. Nobody wants to hear you crunching chips.

Happy watching, my friends! And may your connection be strong (both internet and friendship!).
