DISNEY+ GROUP WATCH
Written by Atu on September 29, 2020
Pandemic lockdowns have given many people the time to binge watch hours of streaming, but not the ability to do so with friends. Now, Disney is looking to change that.
Disney+ debuted on Tuesday, September 29th, a new social feature called “Group Watch”. It lets up to seven people “watch together in a synced playback experience available across Web, mobile, connected TV devices and smart TV’s, and share reactions in real-time”, according to Disney (DIS).
To use the service, Disney+ subscribers select a title to watch and press the “Group Watch” icon on the details page. The leader then sends out an invite to up to six other Disney+ subscribers, which then plays the content simultaneously on everyone’s screens.
