The act of broadcasting video content from a subscription-based entertainment service, specifically Netflix, to a group of individuals through a digital communication platform designed for real-time interaction, such as Discord, allows multiple users to view the same media simultaneously. An example would be an individual using Discord’s screen-sharing function to display their Netflix playback to their friends within a private channel.
This capability facilitates collaborative viewing experiences among geographically dispersed individuals. It fosters social interaction and allows for shared reactions and commentary on media as it is being consumed. Historically, this type of shared viewing required physical proximity; modern digital tools now enable remote participation, widening access to shared entertainment.
