Trying to figure out how to use Teleparty so that you can watch TV or movies with your friends or loved ones online? Well, you're in luck because you'll find everything you need to know below to enable you to do just that.
First things first, when it comes to figuring out how to use Teleparty, it's important to note that Teleparty is not an official feature of any of the streaming services it works with. It's supported by a Patreon, so if you enjoy the way you can do this, you may want to sponsor the developers there to ensure it keeps going.
Secondly, you'll need to have Google Chrome for this feature to work. You can use it in other web browsers like Safari, Firefox of Microsoft Edge, plus it won't work when you're watching on a TV or a phone either.
Whoever wants to watch will need to have Google Chrome running on their computer, and they'll want to download the extension to their browser here. That shouldn't take long to install, and then whoever is logged into the streaming service of choice will then want to set up a party.
You'll have to decide what you're going to watch before you set up the party. You can't scroll through the storefront of Netflix to choose what you'll be binging together, so you'll want to find the TV show or movie first and then follow the steps below.
When you've found what you're going to watch, the next step to how to use Teleparty is to press on the NP logo in the top right of your Google Chrome browser. It'll then say Create a Teleparty, and you'll want to press Start the party.
You'll then be greeted with a link that you can send out to whoever you want to join. This is a long URL, so it's likely you'll want to send this through another messaging service to find the right people.
Every time we've used Netflix Party or Teleparty, we've been given the icon of a cookie as our profile image. If you press on that in the top right, you'll be given the option to change your nickname.
Then people will know who you are within the basic chat window that appears to the right hand side of what you're watching. And there you have it, you now know how to use Teleparty. But is it the only way to watch TV shows and films with your friends and family?
When we tested Teleparty back when it was still Netflix Party, we have found that it could be quite temperamental for some. If that's the case for you, the good news is that this isn't the first time we've seen something like this for Netflix.
We've previously reported on the social streaming app Rave, which lets users sync Netflix or YouTube videos over mobile (or certain VR headsets) with other users of the app.
But Teleparty looks like it will have a far wider user base by virtue of being a browser add-on, rather than being limited to smartphones and tablets. It also covers a huge number of streaming services compared to its rivals.
In this self-isolating society, having more social features in our content services is a great thing. Having tried out Netflix Party ourselves, it's both non-obtrusive and simple to use, with a neat sidebar stuck on the right side of the screen, and options to set an icon and nickname for every person joining the synced stream.
