“Netflix Party” Allows Viewers To Have Movie Nights With Friends While Social Distancing

Forget “Netflix and Chill” now it’s time to “Quarantine and Chill,” and Google Chrome is attempting to give its audience a way to do just that.

According to USA Today, all you need is the Chrome extension called Netflix Party, which allows groups of friends to get together virtually and watch their favorite Netflix titles on their computers at the same time.

The extension also features a chat room, so you can share your reactions to the programs as you watch.

To join, you will need to go to www.netflixparty.com from your Google Chrome browser and click “Get Netflix Party for free!”

Then users need to select “Add to Chrome” and then click “Add extension” in the pop-up window. Netflix Party will then be added to the top right corner of your Google Chrome browser, next to the address bar.

You will also need to make sure that your friends have downloaded “Netflix Party” onto their Google Chrome browsers as well.

Once this is complete, you go to Netflix via your google browser and sign in to your Netflix account and pick a movie your party wants to watch.
