Watching Facebook videos with a Watch Party

Watch Party is the name of the Facebook feature that lets you view videos with friends on your mobile phone, as long as the content is publicly available. Members of a group can watch one or more content in real time, commenting and interacting with content as if they were in a living room.

The feature is available on all social network platforms, whether in the web version or in the Android and iPhone (iOS) apps. The tutorial below, which teaches you how to create a Facebook Watch Party on your cell phone, was conducted on a Moto G5S Plus running Android 7.1.1 Nougat.
