Going to the movies with friends is for many people one of the greatest diversions or hobbies, since the fact of watching a movie with other people allows us to comment on what is happening or we predict what may happen, effects of the movie, details, etc. .
However, many moviegoers have chosen to hire one of the streaming content platforms like Netflix and thus be able to watch a lot of movies for a small monthly fee. Yes, the truth is that they will not have access to the latest on the card, but they will have access to many content of their interest.
In addition, they will be able to invite their friends home and be able to watch the movies and discuss them together with much more tranquility and freedom than in the cinema. However, it is also possible to simultaneously watch a Netflix movie with our friends and comment on it , but without having to meet in a house, each in his own .
Yes, you heard correctly, it is possible to watch any Netflix content with our friends, each one at home simultaneously and be able to comment on the movie as if we had all come together in one. Of course, for this we will need to enter the American platform through the Google Chrome browser, although later we can transmit the image from our PC to the home television.
And is that in order to watch the same movie at the same time with our friends and be able to discuss it together, we are going to have to use an extension that has been developed for the Google web browser and has been baptized with the name of Netflix Party . The truth is that some may be thinking that this does not require us to use any additional software, but it is very difficult for several friends to start playing the same content simultaneously.
Therefore, some will be more advanced than others in reproduction and the experience can be a disaster, since they can reveal what happens before we can see it with our own eyes or be the ones to spoil our friends. . To avoid this, Netflix Party is the ideal tool, since it allows synchronized playback and access to a chat in which we can discuss all the details of the film with our friends in total comfort and with everyone at home.
