Some movies can only be enjoyed when watched together. Discussing the plots, cracking up at hilarious scenes, and bawling your eyes out for the main character only become more enjoyable when done with your friends, family, or partner. However, if you don’t live in the same place, then the need to look for alternatives arises.

This is when you turn to the internet for some effective aid. And just like every other activity, this technology does not disappoint you. With watch party apps and extensions, you can stream as many movies or TV shows with your friends as you want, even while living miles away from one another.

But this can only happen if you have a seamless connection. If your current connection keeps acting up, then it is about time you look for value for your money. In this regard, providers like Spectrum do the trick by delivering top-notch internet with unlimited data on whichever plan you land on. To place your order as a native Spanish speaker, you can visit Spectrum Español or call 1-855-464-4098 to get assistance in your language.

So, don’t let anything ruin the fun, especially not a lousy internet connection. On that note, here are some of the effective ways you can watch movies with your friends or partner online.

1.      Teleparty

Originally known as Netflix Party, this browser extension was once used only by Netflix users, however, Teleparty can now allow users of Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, and YouTube to create a party link and stream movies or shows with their friends.

Once you install the extension and create a link, it syncs the movie for you all to watch at the same time while chatting in the sidebar. Depending on the load of service, typically fifty people can use this extension to watch the same content together.

Teleparty can be installed on Google Chrome, Opera, or Edge. The only catch is, all the people involved in the “party” must have a subscription to the streaming service you are going to use. There is one host that generates the link and they can decide whether to give control of the other to pause, play or rewind the movie or not.

2.      Hulu Watch Party

Here is some good news for all Hulu subscribers, this streaming service offers a feature of Watch Party that enables you and your friends to watch movies together. The feature is compatible with Chrome, Safari, Edge, and Firefox. Moreover, it allows you to add up to eight people to your “watch session”. Similar to Teleparty, every participant must be a subscriber of Hulu and they should be at least 18 years old. It has a similar way of setting up and generating the link as Teleparty, however, you don’t need to install any extension for this built-in feature to function properly.

To use it, you can go over to Hulu.com and find the show or movie you plan to watch. Once you find it, look for the Watch Party icon and click on it. To invite friends, you can click on the chain icon and forward the link to the group of people you want to watch the movie with.

3.      Scener

Everyone has their preferences when it comes to streaming services. Some might be fonder of Netflix, while some have biases toward HBO. This is why Scener allows the fans of multiple streaming services such as; HBO Max, Hulu, Netflix, Hotstar, Alamo On Demand, Shudder, and multiple others to watch content available on this platform with their homies.

Just like Teleparty, Scener is a chrome extension the user installs on their browser. On the home page of Scener, there is an option to “Host a Watch Party”. The user clicks on it and the selects “Room” option to further invite more than 10 friends to join the room using the link.

4.      TwoSeven

TwoSeven is another amazing share-watching streaming platform that allows you to watch your favorite shows and movies, as well as YouTube videos together with your friends. The participants involved in the session have to sign up for an account, which is for free, via their email, Google, or Facebook accounts. However, every participant must have an account on TwoSeven to take advantage of this feature.

This app also allows you to use your webcam as well as a microphone while watching. This makes you feel connected, even if you are in two different cities.

You can access YouTube, Apple TV, HBO Max, Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+ with TwoSeven.
