Watch together using SharePlay in the Apple TV app on iPhone
In the Apple TV app with iOS 15.1 or later, you can stream TV shows and movies in sync with friends and family while on a FaceTime call together using SharePlay. The controls are shared so anyone on the call can pause, rewind, or fast forward. With smart volume, media audio is adjusted automatically, so you can continue to chat while watching. (Settings like subtitles and volume are controlled separately by each person.)

Note: Some apps that support SharePlay require a subscription. To watch a purchased movie or TV show together, all SharePlay participants must have purchased the item. SharePlay may not support the sharing of some movies or TV shows across different countries or regions. FaceTime, some FaceTime features, and other Apple services may not be available in all countries or regions.
