During the pandemic, Facebook updated its Messenger allowing users to have a video call together up to 50 people. And now just this morning, they quietly rolled out another update that enables us to "Watch Together" any videos that are on Facebook Watch in real-time.

So how does that work and how do you get that started? Well, according to Facebook Newsroom, you or your friend and family will have to host a Room first(video call) then swipe up to access the menu and you should see a Watch Together option. As mentioned, you can watch any video available on Facebook with TV and Movies, Watched, or Uploaded. You can also search for anyone's name or topic in the search bar.
