For now only available to Chrome users, the app is basically an extension that will allow you to remotely stream Netflix content in unison with your friends. In basic terms, the program synchronises playback among all viewers, allowing anyone to play and pause the video for everyone else as well.

Even better: the app is completely free – so why not try it? Browse through our selection of best comfort movies currently on Netflix to find something that will appeal to most of your mates.
