Have you ever wished to watch a movie or TV show with your friends who are miles away? Well, the good news is that it is possible with the help of the Rave app. Rave is a free app that allows you to watch streaming services with your friends, even if they are in a different part of the world.
In this guide, we will show you how to use Rave to Netflix Party on TV. However, you can use this method for other streaming services like Hulu, YouTube, HBO Max, Disney Plus, and more.
To get started, you will need to download the Rave app on your Android TV. If you don’t have an Android TV, you can use Google TV or Fire TV Stick. Once you install the app, adjust the screen display if necessary, and create an account using your Google, Twitter, or Facebook account.
The next step is to add your friends to the app. Tap on the menu icon and select “Friends” to search for your friends’ names or share your name with them. If your friend doesn’t have a Rave account, you can guide them to install the app and add them to your friend list.
After adding your friends, decide what you want to watch and select the plus icon at the bottom right corner of your screen to see all your options. If you want to watch a platform that is free, you can start watching right away. However, for Netflix, you will need to sign in to your account.
Select what you want to watch and set the chat room visibility to private to restrict the conversation to you and your friends. Then, click on the add friends icon and select your friends from the list to send them an invite.
On your TV, open the Rave app, and in the invitation section at the top right corner, click on the invite you received. The playback will sync to your TV and smartphone, and you can start watching your favorite shows with your friends.
Although Rave has some downsides like freezing and limited logins, it does the job and is an excellent way to Netflix Party on TV. Try it out and enjoy watching your favorite shows with your friends, no matter where they are in the world.
