How it Works

People can use Watch Together by starting a Messenger video call or create a Messenger Room then swipe up to access the menu and select Watch Together.

From there you can select a suggested video or choose from a category such as ‘TV & Movies,’ ‘Watched,’ ‘or ‘Uploaded.’ Users can also search for videos or creators in the ‘Search’ bar of the Watch Together feature.

You can watch videos with up to eight people on a Messenger video call and up to 50 people in Rooms. Watch Together is free and is rolling out globally this week in Messenger and Messenger Rooms on mobile for iOS and Android.
