Facebook might soon let you watch videos with someone else on Messenger

Earlier this year, Facebook launched at feature that let people in Facebook Group’s watch videos in sync together. It seems this might be something that’s coming to Messenger. Developer Ananay Arora discovered a new code added to Messenger that suggests there will be a “Watch Videos Together” feature on the messaging app. It’ll work similar to Watch Party in that you can drop a video in a thread, ping the person or group thread so you can all watch at the same time. It’s presumed this will work with videos hosted on Facebook, which would make sense but could also mean you can’t do remote Netflix marathons on this. Facebook told TechCrunch this is an internal test so don’t expect to see it anytime soon. But since it’s something that already exists in another part of Facebook.
