How To Watch Movies And TV Shows Together Using Face Time?

Now that the public beta of iOS 15 has been released a lot of us have started installing this new software on your device and you might be wondering how to take advantage of some of the best new features the iOS 15 has to offer more specifically the face time features lets focus on learning how to use share play which is the feature that allows you to watch movies and listen to music with friends.

All right so first things first to take advantage of either one of these two new features both devices do need to be on iOS 15. So if you're planning on sharing your screen or having watch parties make sure that your friend your family member your significant other whoever else is using this with you is on iOS 15 or IPad as well so screen sharing in iOS 15 is very simple and very effective all you need to do once you're on a face time call is press a button right underneath of the end button on the menu bar so once you tap that you will see share my screen go ahead and tap on that and you will see it does a little countdown right there and then your screen appears on the another person's phone, now your screen will be blurred out at first because you are on the face time call but once you go back to the home screen on the other person's phone, you will see that you could see your screen right there you could also move it around. So this is for the person on the receiving end recording your own screen you're going to be able to operate on your screen as normal.

You will see a little purple icon up in the top left so around the time it will turn purple that indicates that you are still screen recording so you can go into the applications and just do your normal thing now on the receiving end if you are the one being screen shared with you also have the option to put this in full screen so all you need to do is go ahead and tap to the menu bar right there and you will get a little prompt that says join screen sharing and when you tap on open you can see there we have share play but you can see that the screen now shows up in full screen so it takes up your entire screen. when we move on the other phone you can see it moves on now also if you want to stop screen sharing all you must do is simply tap in at the status bar right there and then tap the same icon that you started with and you can see screen sharing just turns off like so screen sharing is cool and definitely very useful but iOS 15 also includes a very awesome feature called share play.

So, this is going to allow you to have watch parties or album listening parties and it basically plays the same media across both devices and multiple devices so that you can react together so to do this the first thing you guys want to do is go into your settings and then you want to go down to face time and then right below our contact information there is a section called share play go ahead and tap on that and then there is a kill switch for share play which after you go into music and tv for the first time these will appear in settings to share play automatically you can turn that on or off from the section inside of settings and now while you're on a face time call just simply start playing a movie a TV show or music and you will see the magic happen.
