Technology brings us closer even when we are miles apart. Video calling lets you talk to your loved ones or friends in real-time. Now, you can upgrade your video calling and create a more intimate experience with Apple SharePlay.
The new Apple SharePlay allows you to share your screen with your friends and family during FaceTime video calls. You can watch movies together, co-view any content on your screen, listen to music, or check out your social media updates. It bridges the gap created by long distances and makes you feel closer by doing things together.
With Apple SharePlay, you can even watch your favorite TV series on Hulu or co-watch love sports on ESPN+. The SharePlay watch together party feature is now available on the Hulu app for users to co-view the shows or movies with up to 32 people they want. One month before the arrival of SharePlay on Hulu, Disney also brought the feature support to the ESPN Plus app, making it its first time to offer sharing options on live sports TV.
How to Start Using Apple SharePlay to Watch Movies or TV Shows on Hulu and ESPN+ Together with Friends
