2. Choose Movie/TV Series
When Netflix Party has been installed, go to Netflix and choose the movie or TV series you wish to play, then tap “NP” in your browser, to the right of the address bar. Right there, you can begin the party and generate a particular Netflix Party URL to copy and paste to friends. You can also select whether you have exclusive access to playing, pausing, and editing options in the film, or if other viewers can as well. Do not forget, Netflix Party syncs up the film for everybody, therefore if you pause the film and you are hosting the party, it will pause for your buddies as well.
