Facebook Watch Party: See how to watch videos with friends on PC

Facebook officially launched the Watch Party tool, which began testing in January. The novelty allows members of a group to watch videos on the social network together, in real time, whether they are recorded movies or live broadcasts. Users can also react and comment on the session, which may have one or more videos.

The feature arrives first for the groups, but Facebook announced that it plans to expand the feature for personal pages and profiles in the future. In this tutorial, see how to use Watch Party on PC.
