A lot of our upcoming screenings are streaming on Netflix. This could be a really fun way to still watch them together!

Step 1: Download Netflix Party and install it. If you don’t have Google Chrome installed, you’ll have to download that first because the extension won’t work with other browsers like Firefox or Safari.

Step 2: Open Netflix and pick out what you want to watch with your friends. (Need inspiration? Try one of the shows on our list of comfort food TV.)

Step 3: Once the TV show or movie you chose is playing, the “NP” icon on your browser will turn red. Click that icon to get things going. You can choose if everyone in the party will be able to control the video, or just you.

Step 4: Share the URL with your friends.

That’s it. Playback rates and results may vary. Go wash your hands.”

It’s a really simple and old technique. Nothing fancy. Tons of people use it. I first learned about it years and years ago from the great book, Whatcha Mean, What’s A Zine?

Videos of Italian neighbours singing together have been appearing on social media after Italy’s prime minister Giuseppe Conte announced the restrictions that shut down virtually all daily life, and leftonly grocery stores, banks, and pharmacies open.
