Best Way to Watch Netflix on FaceTime Together

Part 1. Can You Screen Share Netflix on FaceTime?

No, you cannot screen share Netflix on FaceTime.

Netflix doesn't allow its content to be shared through FaceTime's SharePlay feature. This is due to strict content protection rules. Netflix must ensure that its shows and movies are protected and only watched through their platform.

But don't worry, there are workarounds if you don’t want to switch to other streaming services that support SharePlay. One effective solution is using the ViWizard Netflix Video Downloader. This tool lets you download Netflix shows and movies directly to your phone's storage. Once downloaded, you can watch them anytime, even without using the Netflix app. This way, you can both start the movie at the same time and talk about it over FaceTime without breaking any rules.
