If you’re like most people, you probably use Facebook Messenger to communicate with friends. But if you’re a fan of video games, you may be wondering how to watch videos with your friends in the app. Here’s how:

  1. Open Facebook Messenger and sign in.
  2. Type “video” into the top left corner of the main screen and press enter.
  3. A list of videos will appear, including those that are already in your account and those that are new to Facebook Messenger. To watch a video from someone else’s account, select it from the list and press the “watch” button. To add a friend as a contact for this feature, open their account on Facebook and click on “add contact.” Then type “video” into the top left corner of their account and press enter.

What can you actually watch with Facebook Messenger’s Watch Together feature? While you can’t use popular streaming services like Netflix, it does support any of the videos found on the Facebook “Watch” tab. That includes videos produced specifically for Facebook and some TV shows and movies.

First, open the Facebook Messenger app on your iPhone, iPad, or Android device. Select the person or group chat you want to watch videos with. You can also tap the “Create Room” button, and invite people to join.

Next, start a voice or video call by tapping the “Phone” or “Video” icon in the top-right corner of the app.

Once you’re in the call, drag the bottom toolbar up to reveal more options.

Select “Watch Together” to start watching a video.

You’ll see a “Suggested” video tab and a “TV & Movies” tab. Select something to watch and it will begin playing.

When the video is playing, it’s synced up with everyone who is watching. Pausing the video will pause it for everyone. If you’re in a video call, you will see the members of the call on the screen as well as the streaming content.

Tapping the video will bring up a Search icon to go back to the video search and the option to close the video.

If your phone supports Picture-in-Picture, you can leave the app, and the video will continue to play in a floating player.

Now you can enjoy videos with your friends and family without being in the same room.
