Malaea Perelini (ID: 000000fae00a1127) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/03/2020 So...... I tried Netflix Party out and its okay but I wanted to watch stuff on disney+ as well. As soon as I tried it, it worked! You just have to make sure that the person you are trying to watch with has watch party as well. The extension is great and I love how you can customize your own character.

George O'Malley (ID: 000000c431dab07a) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 04/13/2020 Wasn't horrible, but it would have been great if my adblocker was turned off and hitting the "Start a Party" button would actually do something
