Netflix Is Letting You And Your Friends Throw Social Distancing Movie Nights
There's nothing more fun than doing your part, right? Especially if that part involves you sitting your happy butt down in some sweats, making some popcorn, and cuddling your dog who's more than pumped that you're home.
Netflix is launching its official quarantine and chill—I mean "Netflix Party" feature, which allows you to watch and chat with your friends no matter how far away they are. Which is fine by me, since I'm sick of Stacy double-dipping the guac and tortillas all the time.
It's The Bougie Version Of Pressing Play At The Same Time
If you're like me, you honed your multi-watch craft when you were a preteen by pressing start all at the same time with your friends. It was never perfect because you had some slow dial-up, but it's the thought that counts. Netflix Party is the grown-up version of that endeavor since it's a Google Chrome extension that lets you watch the same thing simultaneously.
Your Broke Friend Can Watch Too
In these trying times, it's important to band together in kindness. That's why Netflix Party lets your broke friend who can't afford a $10 streaming service in on the fun, too. All everyone has to do to watch is download the Party extension and they can watch too (as long as they're on your account).
There's A Chat Room For Your All-Caps Messages About Shirtless Adam Driver
Dude, I am not kidding when I say this extension has thought of everything. Just because you're social distancing doesn't mean you have to rein in the fangirl or boy inside of you. All you have to do is send your screams via their chatroom feature that automatically comes with Netflix Party.
You Are The Captain Now (You Just Control The Pausing, Really)
If you're the big alpha of your quarantine crew, then baby, now's your time to establish some social distancing dynamics.
Netflix Party allows you the option of assigning the pause, fast-forward, and rewind options to yourself. You're going to want to take advantage of this...especially to pause when Adam Driver comes on. Have I mentioned Adam Driver is on Netflix?
How To Get It (Because I Know You Want It)
If by now you're not convinced, then you need to change your perspective on this isolation because you definitely need this. All you have to do is go to the Extensions section of Chrome's web store, type in "Netflix Party," add it to Chrome, login, and get the shareable link to give your friends.
