One of the things the pandemic has taught us is that you can share something without being around each other. The world of video games has been working like this for years thanks to the use of the Internet, but now there are more services that require it to work. The example is all those apps with which you can watch series with your friends. In fact, today we are going to share with you a trick to watch Disney+ series with your friends for free.
Many VOD services have raised the prices of their rates, which has led many to opt for a single option. If you have a group of friends with whom you shared an account, with this trick you can meet on the Internet to watch a series or movie together with a single subscription.
Screen sharing mode is the key
As we said, more and more video on demand services have opted for a more ‘family’ subscription model. In other words, if you do not live with the owner of the subscription, you will have no choice but to pay for one on your own. This has aroused collective discontent, as seen in the case of Netflix. But it seems that this has only been at the beginning of establishing this measure in the different countries of the world.
Even so, human ingenuity is moved by necessity and that is why we are going to tell you a trick with which it is possible to share Disney + content from your mobile with your friends. This trick is not very mysterious, since you do not have to install more applications than those of the VOD service where you have (or your friends have) a subscription. After that do the following:
- Activate your mobile phone
- Enter any video call app
- Send the link to your friends
- Start the app of the service you want to share
- Start playing the series you want to see
- Use the screen sharing function
@claudiiamg Better late than never
Yes, this is all you have to do so that you and your friends can enjoy a movie or series together wherever you are. Although as you can see in this TikTok by Claudia Martínez, one of the contestants on La Isla de las Tentaciones, Apple’s Face Time is being used for this task, we’re sorry to tell you that it doesn’t work with all services.
It seems that Disney + is one of the possibilities, but others like Netflix activate a function with which you can neither record nor stream its content in any way. This is done to prevent the series they broadcast from being pirated, so they force you to pay the fee to see their series. You can try other services such as HBO MAX or SkyShowtime among others.
If I can’t, is there an alternative?
Unfortunately, there are not many alternatives with which to share your VOD service account and watch it with your friends simultaneously. Some Netflix extensions have that capability, so take advantage of this trick while you can with the services that are still supported. Otherwise, or you will have to pay everyone a subscription to the same service and create a group to see something in common.
