How to Host a Skype Movie Party With Your Friends

Host A Cozy Movie Night with Friends Using Skype

With all the uncertainty in the world, it's sometimes hard to stay connected with friends when we can't physically be around them. But that doesn't mean movie night needs to be canceled! Have a cozy night in with your friends using the power of video conferencing to keep the magic of movie night alive. Here's how:

Step 1: Pick a Movie

Gather your friends in a video chat and decide on a movie to watch together. It could be a classic you've seen countless times, or something brand new. Everybody can take a vote, or if you all can't decide, let someone pick from their personal collection.

Step 2: Get Ready

Once you've chosen a movie, send out the Netflix (or other streaming service) link ahead of time. Everyone should go into the chat a few minutes before showtime, dressed in their comfiest pajamas or movie-watching attire.

Step 3: Press Play!

Now that everyone is ready, it's time to start the movie! As it's playing, make sure to check-in with one another and point out the best moments. Have some popcorn ready to munch on while watching.

Step 4: Discuss the Movie

Not only is it fun to watch movies together, but it's also fun to discuss them afterwards! Ask your friends questions about the movie, their favorite characters, or what they think the ending means. It's a great way to keep the conversation going.

Step 5: Do It Again!

Last but not least, plan another movie night with your friends! Once you have the basics down, you can start to try out new themes, games, or snacks for your next gathering.
