During this lockdown period, even something as simple as watching a movie or TV show can feel a little disappointing, as you may be used to having people over. While you may still be able to text and watch movies at the same time, wouldn’t it be even better if you watched the exact same scene with your loved ones and could talk about it during the movie?

That’s where Scener comes in. Scener is a Google Chrome extension that can be installed to enable video chats between friends and family. Dubbed “remote co-watching,” Scener lets multiple users stream the same show at the same time so they can watch it together.

The service promises synchronized playback and interactive support for up to 20 people in text, audio, and video formats. In this guide, we’ll help you set up Scener and teach you how to use it to easily watch shows and movies with your friends and family simultaneously.
