Apps Where You Can Watch Movies With Friends

Movie Night...Alone? No Way!

Let's be honest. We've all been there. You find the perfect movie. Pop the popcorn. Then… crickets.

Trying to coordinate a movie night with friends feels like herding cats. Seriously.

Luckily, the internet is here to save us from solo movie marathons! So, let's dive into some apps that let you watch movies together, even when you're miles apart.

Netflix Party (Teleparty Now!)

Ah, the OG of virtual movie nights! Netflix Teleparty (formerly Netflix Party) is a classic for a reason.

It's simple. Install the Chrome extension. Sync up your Netflix accounts. Boom! Instant shared viewing experience.

Plus, the chat feature lets you unleash your witty commentary. Just try not to spoil anything, okay?

Hulu Watch Party

Hulu's in the game too! Their Hulu Watch Party is built right into the platform.

No extra extensions needed! This makes it super easy to use. Select your movie or show, invite your friends, and get watching.

It's a great option if you're already a Hulu subscriber. And let’s be real, who isn't watching Hulu these days?

Amazon Prime Video Watch Party

Don't think Amazon would be left out, do you? Amazon Prime Video Watch Party is another solid choice.

Similar to Hulu, it’s integrated directly into Prime Video. This provides a seamless experience for Prime members.

Plus, if you've got a ton of friends with Prime accounts, this could be your go-to.

Disney+ GroupWatch

Calling all Disney fans! Disney+ GroupWatch is here to make your childhood dreams come true (again!).

Imagine watching The Lion King with your besties, all while sharing your favorite quotes and crying over Mufasa's fate. Okay, maybe just I'm crying.

It's perfect for families and anyone who secretly (or not so secretly) loves Disney magic.

Scener: The Wild Card

Okay, Scener is a bit different. It's like a virtual living room.

It allows you to watch Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, HBO Max, and even live sports with friends via video chat!

So, you can actually see your friends' reactions. It's a level up in shared viewing!

My Unpopular Opinion: Chatting is Key

Here's where I might lose some of you. The movie itself is almost secondary.

Hear me out! The real fun is in the shared experience. The jokes. The reactions. The bad movie reviews.

A good chat feature is essential! Without it, you might as well be watching alone. Fight me!

Bonus Tip: Snacks are Mandatory

No virtual movie night is complete without snacks. I mean, come on!

Coordinate with your friends. Each of you makes a different snack to share on camera.

Or, just order pizza. No judgment here. Movie watching is hard work.

So, What Are You Waiting For?

Stop watching movies alone! Grab your friends (virtually, of course).

Pick an app, choose a movie, and get ready for a night of laughter and maybe even a few tears.

Happy watching! (And don't forget the snacks!)
