Available on Disney Plus, GroupWatch is a tool that allows up to seven people to see any catalog title at the same time in a synchronized experience, wherever they are. The option is ideal for those who want to watch a Disney Plus movie or series with friends and family even if they are not together.
How does Disney Plus GroupWatch work?
Basically, you send or receive the link to watch and, when you click, enter a “room” with the participants. These other users also need to be subscribers to the Disney Plus streaming service, as you need to sign in before signing in.
Anyone on GroupWatch can control playback—start, pause, play again, move forward, or backward. If you make any changes to the video, such as a pause, it will be valid for everyone watching it.
While syncing the title for everyone watching, GroupWatch doesn’t have an integrated chat. If you want to comment on what’s happening on the screen, you’ll need to chat through another app. The maximum interaction the tool allows is with reaction emojis for scenes —they will appear on all participants’ screen.
How to use GroupWatch to watch Disney Plus with friends
You can invite up to six people to GroupWatch, which works on both Android and iOS mobile devices (iPhone and iPad) and desktop. If you accept the invitation by mobile or computer, you’ll also be able to watch it on TV.
Follow the steps below to start GroupWatch on Disney Plus:
- Sign in to the Disney plus website or app and sign in to your account;
- Go to the movie or series page you want to see with friends;

How to join a Disney Plus GroupWatch on TV
You can be part of a GroupWatch by Smart TV, but you can first accept the invitation through the app on your phone or computer. Follow the steps below:
