Watch together using SharePlay on Apple TV
With SharePlay, you can watch movies, shows or music videos with anyone, anywhere. Start a FaceTime call on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Mac (requires iOS 15.1, iPadOS 15.1, macOS Ventura 13.0, or later), then begin watching a movie, show or music video on Apple TV. Playback starts in sync for everyone on the call and everyone can control playback from their devices — so you and your friends can laugh, cry, scream or sigh at the same time.
Note: Some apps that support SharePlay require a subscription. If you watch a purchased film or TV programme, all SharePlay participants must also have purchased the item in order to watch it together. Some films and TV programmes may not be available to SharePlay across different countries or regions. FaceTime or some FaceTime features and other Apple services may not be available in all countries or regions.
