With Facebook’s new Watch Party feature, you can watch tons of videos and shows with members of groups you’re in on Facebook. Watch this video to find out more about this new Facebook feature!

The Watch Party feature is available for all Facebook groups. You can only host a watch party within a Facebook group you’re part of. When you start a watch party, members of the group will be notified and have the option to join in. Facebook watch parties are a great way to enjoy content together, help your group members learn new things, market products, and more. This feature can be used in a variety of ways based on the type of videos you choose to add to your watch party.

To start, open your web browser and go to Facebook.com. On the left, click Groups. Click on the group you’d like to host a watch party in. Now click Watch Party. Click OK. Click “add a title for your watch party” and type in a name for the event. You can also add a description in the text box above. Maybe something like “come join the watch party!” Now click Add Video. Choose the video you want to watch with your group. You can browse popular videos, search for a specific topic using the search bar, or check out the various tabs at the top of the window to choose from videos you’ve already watched, videos posted within your group, ongoing live streams, videos you’ve saved, and suggested videos Facebook thinks you might like. When you see a video you want to add to your watch party, click Add to Queue. You can add more than one video if you want to keep your watch party going longer. When you’re finished adding videos, click Done.

When you’re ready to start your watch party, click Post. Members of your group will be notified that a watch party is starting. You can see profile pictures of the people watching in the bottom left corner. Group members that are viewing can react to the video using the reactions at the bottom of the screen, and add comments on the right. If you decide you want to add more videos to your watch party when you’ve already started, click Add Video to access the window to add additional videos to your queue. If you want to end the watch party before the end of the video you’re viewing with your group, click End Watch Party. To confirm, click End.

When your watch party ends, members of your group will no longer be able to view your watch party or access any of the comments that may have been added, but links to any videos that were watched will be added to the watch party post in your group so that anyone who missed out on the watch party can watch the videos themselves later.

  3. Watch party option missing from my fb! What do I do, already uninstalled and reinstalled fb, already updated fb. Still nothing! What do I do?

  5. Can i share this video publicly on my church facebook page to get people to know how to host a watch party?
    are there any copyright issues and how do i get that sorted too.

  6. I'm trying to host a watch party while doing a live segment on my FB. This doesn't tell me how to do that? Is that possible?

  8. Here is my Question can people (members) see me (my face or what I AM doing )while watching watch part video? Please answer

  11. Can I do a watch party from my Music page or does it have to be from my personal profile. And can I do it on my phone or do I have to use my computer ?

  12. Can I link outside videos that can't be found on Facebook. By far one of the most irritating things is trying to share Facebook items from inside out,.

  13. I wish she’d talked about how to host a Watch Party for the original video created by the host. (Like how to upload and where to locate it and show it.)

  17. PLEASE REPLY
    My friend have a problem with Facebook watch party. It seems like she's block in FB watch party. She can't host while I can host in group. Is she been block by Facebook?

  21. Thank you so much for this. I have been trying to figure this out and I believe this was the piece I was missing. I have a question maybe you could help me with. I had previously ordered a beauty kit to learn a service and an email that included a link was sent to me saying when the course would be available to view. It also indicated that if I was unable to view at that Fb live time it would be available for me to watch for 24 hours then it would disappear. My question is how was a fb link created prior to going live? Example my kit was purchased 11/1/19 the fb live course regarding how to use the kit wasn’t until 11/18 but I already had the direct link. I’m asking because I want to do something similar for a course I want to teach in the future and I thought this was a cool feature vs using zoom.

  25. What happens when you start a watch party is the most important thing people need to know! DO not do it! It's like forcing yourself on someone!!!!!! It's obnoxious!

  27. Is it once a day or however many times u want? I did it once and I'm trying to do it again it's not going thru.

  29. I work for a venue and want to start running regular Watch Parties, showcasing artists who have played at the venue. I'm massively worried about copyright infringement though. Have tried looking for restrictions on which videos can and can't be played in a Watch Party, but no success. Would you have any ideas on copyright at all please?

  31. My friend sells jewlery on facebook. I tried to help advertise it in our local sales page when she was live yesterday and she wasn't getting any of our comments to her from our watch party. Is there a way to combine my watch parties comments and the original live videos comments. She was missing MANY sales because she couldnt see my watch parties comments on her original video.
    Just let me know! 😁

  32. Can I add to my watch party a video that is monetized with ads break and belongs to me?

  33. What I want to know is why the hell was I watching a watch party of authorities trying maybe trying to retrieve a dead body from a river on a CROCHET group. Who does this? It's horrible when people use such powerful tools like this in such wrong ways!
