With Netflix Party, you can watch movies and TV shows on Netflix online with your family and friends. It doesn't matter if you're in the same city or in a different country around the world, Netflix Party will make you and your friends feel like you're in the same room watching Netflix together.

What is Netflix Party?

Netflix Party is the official way Netflix helps people watch Netflix online with others. There are other options, but thanks to official Netflix support, Party has many special uses. For example, you can use the tool to sync Netflix replays with friends, watch Netflix with others in your home (possibly in different rooms), or even chat on screen in real time.

How does Netflix Party work?

The Netflix Party Chrome extension is not available in other browsers on your desktop. It also does not work on Android, iOS, gaming consoles or streaming devices - the Chrome extension must be used on a desktop operating system. It is completely free to download and use.

Getting Started with Netflix Party

Before you start, make sure you have Netflix Party pinned to Chrome so that its icon will appear on the right side of the URL bar. After confirming, open the Netflix webpage and log in, go to the movie page you want to watch together, click on the "NP" icon, and select "Start the party".

Unlocking restrictions

Immediately above, while the third category is considered locally residential vpn by Netflix, there are still many data centers that actually look at IP addresses that are on this whitelist 

While there is no problem that can't be solved by adding money, this has spawned a set of services: streaming unlocking services. This can be understood as being a proxy for some of the streaming service's traffic again in a restricted proxy server. The technical details of the specific use can be viewed in the documentation of the service provider.
