Watch and listen together in FaceTime on Mac
With macOS 12 or later, you can use SharePlay in FaceTime to bring TV shows, movies and music into your video calls. With simultaneous playback and shared controls, you can enjoy a real-time connection with everyone on the call — you all see and hear the same moments at the same time. With smart volume, audio is adjusted automatically, so you can continue to chat while watching or listening.
Note: Some apps that support SharePlay require a subscription to participate. Not all features and content are available in all countries or regions. See the Apple Support article Availability of Apple Media Services.
Watch video together
You can watch TV shows and movies during a FaceTime call with others. If everyone on the call has access to the video content (by subscription or free trial, for example), they can see the same moments at the same time and use the shared playback controls to press Play or Pause. The show or movie volume adjusts automatically so you can keep talking while you watch.

Everyone on the call who has access to the content can watch at the same time. People who don’t have access are asked to get access (through a subscription, a transaction or a free trial, if available).
While watching together, everyone can use playback controls on their respective Apple devices to play, pause, rewind or fast-forward in real time. See Watch together using SharePlay.
Tip: You can arrange windows so that you see the FaceTime video call on one side of your screen and the movie or show on the other side. See Use apps in Split View.
Listen to music together
You can get together and listen to music with others on a FaceTime call. If everyone on the call has the required access to the music, they can hear the song at the same time, see the name of the song and what’s up next, and use the shared controls to pause playback, reorder songs, add songs to the queue and jump to the next track. The music volume adjusts automatically so you can keep talking while you listen.
