Sling TV rolls out its Watch Party feature with video chat
Yes, there are some good things that have come out of our pandemic summer of 2020, and one of them has to be watch parties. Our latest participant in the watch-party parade: Sling TV, which is kicking off fall with a beta of its own take, complete with video chat.
Sling Watch Party is available now for users in the U.S., and it includes the ability to invite up to three other viewers to your group. For now, Sling Watch Party only works in Chrome desktop browsers.
Several other streaming video services have launched their own watch party features over the past few months, including Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, Plex, and Movies Anywhere (the digital locker service for movie purchases).
