GroupWatch, which will be available on Disney Plus in 2020, is a feature that allows you to view any movie, short, or television show on the streaming platform with your friends and family. You may all enjoy the same viewing experience even if you are unable to watch together in person since GroupWatch syncs streams. Anyone you invite will need to have a Disney Plus account in order to participate, though you can stream from up to four distinct accounts on the same account at once.

Using the Disney Plus website or mobile app, you can create and join a GroupWatch. As well as observing, you may participate in the conversation by clicking or touching on the happy face icon. The Disney Plus app, which is presently accessible for mobile devices and tablets, as well as the virtual watching tool are both available online through your browser and on the Disney Plus app.

Find out how to host your own Disney Plus GroupWatch and how to join an existing Disney Plus GroupWatch in this guide.
