WatchParty

Watch movies with your long-distance partner

A movie night can bring you closer even when you live far apart. A shared room makes it easier to pause together, talk and stay at the same point in the video.

1. Create a private room for two

Choose a two-person room when creating your WatchParty. It is private and both people can control playback. Send the room link to your partner; guest access depends on the room settings.

2. Find a film you both like

Movie Night's couple tool helps you compare genre preferences. You can also try a random pick or a movie battle instead of scrolling through a catalogue all evening.

3. Turn on voice chat

Join voice chat using the microphone button and allow microphone access when prompted. Wear headphones so the film's audio does not echo through your microphone.

4. Choose the right video source

YouTube and supported direct video links can play in sync. For another website, share a browser tab with audio where supported. Protected streaming services may block capture; each person should open the film with their own account and keep the room open for conversation.
