While movie theaters are slowly reopening, many individuals are still hesitant to see the big screen. Our need to share movies with the people we care about hasn’t gone away, and Disney Plus Watch Party could be the answer to your troubles.
The House of Mouse’s communal function allows you to broadcast anything on the platform with your family and friends at the same time, even if you’re hundreds of miles apart.
What is the Disney Plus Group Watch and how does it work?
Are you isolated from your family, at risk of contracting COVID, or self-isolating? With Disney Plus Group Watch, you may safely reassemble Friday Night Cinema Club. GroupWatch is a cool tool that allows you to synchronize the playback of ANY film or TV series on Disney Plus, allowing up to seven people to watch old favorites and new releases online at the same time.
The host chooses a movie or TV show to watch, then sends out a Groupwatch link to friends and family. Anyone can control the playback experience once everyone has accepted the invitation and the streaming has begun. So, if your friends are out of popcorn or are groaning through some dull exposition, any of them can pause or resume the broadcast, or jump ahead to the exciting parts.
There isn’t a chat feature like Netflix’s Teleparty, but there are six emoji that viewers can use to convey their emotions, including “like,” “funny,” “sad,” “angry,” “scared,” and “surprised.” They’ll appear on the left-hand side of the page, along with the participant’s profile name, once they’ve been selected.
Only Disney Plus subscribers, however, are eligible to participate. So, if you get an invite to your friend’s Marvel movie marathon, you’ll need to sign up for the platform first. It’s really simple to do, and we’ve outlined the Disney Plus costs, plans, and best discounts below.
It’s worth mentioning that the Disney Plus Group Watch feature is currently only available in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Ireland, and portions of Europe. While creating an international GroupWatch is feasible, you may not be able to access the same information across all areas.
Most Disney Plus compatible devices, as well as the Disney Plus app for iOS and Android, as well as some smart TVs and media streaming devices, support Watch parties. You can also watch it online through the Disney Plus website. However, the PS4, Nintendo devices, and some Roku versions do not support it.
