Watching TV and Movies Online with Friends (via Teleparty) – Worthy

Watch TV shows and movies on Netflix, or other streaming platforms is best done with friends, family and loved ones. But usually there are times when people we want to watch movies with are not physically available. Teleparty (formerly Netflix Party) makes this process easier by allowing users to watch TV online with friends.

Teleparty launched as Netflix Party and became popular at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. The developers report that more than ten million people have installed Netflix Party and watch Netflix shows with their friends around the world. That’s an impressive number.

The platform, which has just been rebranded as Teleparty, has now expanded to support more than one platform, not just Netflix. With Teleparty you can now virtually watch movies with friends on these platforms: Hulu, Hulu +, HBOmax, Disney + and HBO Now.

In addition, Teleparty currently only supports Chrome and Microsoft Edge browsers. However, there is a plan to expand and support other browsers soon. With the shared songs as a backup, the platform now calls itself the largest social TV app in the world.

In this post, we will discuss how to watch TV (or movies) online with friends using the Teleparty tool. Stay with me.
