Preliminary information
Before getting to the heart of this tutorial and explaining how to watch Netflix together, it is necessary to make a necessary premise relating to the services that I will offer you in the next paragraphs.
In fact, you should know that almost all the solutions I’m going to talk to you require that all participants in the “synchronized” visions have a subscription to Netflix.

Another thing that seems correct to tell you is that the services I’m about to tell you about are made by third parties. Therefore not by Netflix directly; therefore they could present malfunctions and – more importantly. Since many of them work through the installation of extensions in the browser. They access all the navigation data related to the famous streaming service (and in some cases not only that).
Now, although there is no reason to doubt the honesty of the developers. It must be taken into account that these add-ons could represent a potential risk to privacy. Therefore I invite you to use them only if strictly necessary. Perhaps, to disable/uninstall them once you have stopped using them. If you need it, I have also prepared tutorials for you on how to uninstall extensions from Chrome and Firefox.
