Please bring back "Netflix Party with Friends" on Xbox One!!!!

CSViper · Mar 19, 2020

Due to the Coronavirus outbreak I think Microsoft and Netflix need to bring back the "Netflix Party Watch with Friends" capability you had with the Xbox 360. People are being told to "shelter at home" during this outbreak and they feel isolated and alone.
By allowing us to do simple things like invite friends to watch and talk during movies and tv shows on any service like Netflix, Vudu, Hulu, etc. would really be helpful. Family and friends would appreciate the effort and good will you would be showing
by allowing this even for a short time to help people with staying at home for so long. I already spoke with Netflix and they are interested. Perhaps you can do this somewhat quickly. I know you can do this with laptops and Google Chrome or also with Oculus
headsets but that stuff is too complicated for older folks and too expensive for younger ones. You have a platform that already did this before and it worked very well. We could use your help and I would appreciate it if you would try. It is a win win
for customers and for Microsoft. Thanks for your time and give it some thought.

The customer service agents take down suggestions from people. Unless you wee talking to someone in the level of a vice president, they dont make policy, and they dant declare interest. Netflix parties are not returning, and Netflix is interested in a consistant
experience across apps.

We all liked it, but like 1 vs 100 its not sustainable, in this case on a single platform. Netflix is responsible for thier app, Microsoft only developed the first version of it, and so they put Xbox features inbecause it was exclusive. Once Netflix went
over it was removed as soon as they did a major revison (source, friend who used to work for netflix)

Has there been any update on this? I remember when they offered it, and never knew they removed it until i looked for it today. Xbox / Microsoft should take the initiative on this. Or maybe we should ask Google?

That's actually a very valid point, I tend to turn OFF my phone and xbox notifications when I'm watching something...

There's a Netflix party extension for Chrome.
