This is great! I have been wanting Netflix to do this for years.

It's perfect when you or your spouse are travelling on business and want to do something "together" in the evening. There are stories of Bill and Melinda Gates doing this back in the day with rentals and going "3-2-1-play" over the phone.

Seriously, why hasn't Netflix been doing this?


It was amazing when Netflix and Xbox 360 did this. They had it as a "Netflix" party and you and your Xbox friends can watch a movie same time and talk on headset or using empties

I've watched a Netflix video in sync with a mate, fun
 
Uptime/Netflix sharing is great - but if you have your own videos on your mobile, or Youtube videos, or Facebook videos you can use one app - FimFum iOS and Android - lets you watch your video together, pause the show, talk, text, emoji, ..... and if you send an invite to your friend and they are not available to watch right now, you have the option of sending them a 'watch' message so they can watch without you and then send you feedback - or they can let you know when they are ready to watch with you. And, best of all, you are not sending them the video - you control the show and the video.
