When we first wrote this article, many streaming services took it upon themselves to introduce a built-in watch party feature. This was to combat the popularity of Netflix Party (now known as Teleparty) and other third-party services that allowed users to share their screens as they sent messages to each other.
In recent years, however, many services have shut down the feature. Disney+'s GroupWatch is no longer available, as is Amazon Prime Video's Watch Party. Sling used to be the only live TV service to have this feature, but they also shut it down in early 2024. To fill in the gaps, Teleparty has made itself compatible with plenty of other services apart from Netflix. Other apps, like Scener and Kast, have also emerged. Below, we list all the services that let you watch with your friends directly on their platforms, or are compatible with services like Teleparty.
