SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 12.28 EUROPE/LONDON BY JULIAN CLOVER

Subscribers to Disney+ in the United States can now invite their friends to watch with them.

GroupWatch went live on Tuesday and allows a subscriber to invite up to six other subscribers to watch together.

They’ll all have the ability to pause, rewind or fast-forward the video. Partygoers can also add their own Emojis.

Disney+ is the latest streaming service to introduce a watch party style feature. In May, Hulu, which is also owned by Disney brought in Hulu Watch Party, while Amazon added a similar service to Prime Video.

A number of unlicensed apps are already available for Disney and other platforms.
