This guide will walk you through the steps for one of the best methods to screen share Netflix with friends and family while also including some additional information on some alternative methods.
How Can I Screen Share Netflix?
There are a number of apps and extensions for screen sharing Netflix, though most of them are restricted to a single type of device that can limit who can participate. Rave fixes this problem by providing completely free stand-alone apps for Macs and Windows computers in addition to iOS and Android smart devices. Here’s how to use Rave to watch Netflix with others at the same time.
Other Ways to Watch Netflix With Friends at the Same Time
There are several alternative methods for doing a Netflix screen share you may want to try if you’re having issues with Rave. Select the Invite link to copy it to your device’s clipboard.
Public: Your screen share will be viewable and joinable by anyone using Rave and with the link.Nearby: This option limits access to those who are geographically near you.Friends: Limits the Netflix screen share to those who you are friends with on the social network you logged into Rave with.Private: Completely private screen share session that’s only joinable by clicking on the invite link.
The Play icon can be used to add other Netflix content to the queue while the Vote checkmark icon allows for participants to vote on what to watch next. To leave your Netflix screen share session, select the Leave icon in the top-left corner. One of the most popular methods is to use a Google Chrome browser extension such as Teleparty (previously Netflix Party) or Scener. Both allow for the synced viewing of Netflix within the Chrome browser, though they do require all participants to be using a computer (rather than a mobile device).
