Netflix Party gained popularity as a browser extension that allowed users to watch Netflix shows and movies with friends and family located in different places. The extension synchronized video playback and provided a chat interface for real-time communication while watching. Users could either host or join parties, sharing a unique party link with participants.
To utilize Netflix Party, users had to install the extension, choose a film or show on Netflix, and then invite friends by sharing the party link. This enabled everyone to watch the content simultaneously while engaging in a text discussion board. Widely employed for virtual movie nights, Netflix Party facilitated connections and enjoyment of entertainment together, even when physically separated.
