Missing GroupWatch? Watch together here
Disney+ removed GroupWatch in September 2023. Waku brings back watching together: open a Portal, a live room with a synced player, room chat and reactions, for movies, shows, anime, YouTube and music. Watch with friends, or with new people from your country. No email or phone needed.
About Disney+ GroupWatch
GroupWatch let Disney+ subscribers watch the same title in sync with friends and family. Everyone needed their own Disney+ subscription on an ad-free plan, in the same country or region. Disney+ support confirmed on 18 September 2023 that it had been removed in all regions.
