Hulu Watch Party: Turn Your Living Room FOMO into a Friendzone Fiesta!
Let's face it, curling up on the couch alone with a bag of chips and reruns of Friends is a classic move. But sometimes, you just gotta share the experience, virtually of course, because putting on pants is a whole other ordeal. That's where the glorious invention of Hulu Watch Party swoops in to save the day (and your social life).

How Does This Magical Social Distancing Soiree Work?
Here's the hot gossip: Hulu Watch Party lets you virtually watch movies and shows with your besties, even if they're chilling in their PJs across state lines. It's like a digital slumber party, minus the awkward braiding attempts (hallelujah!).
Here's the lowdown:
- Find Your Squad-Worthy Stream: Head over to Hulu.com and browse for a movie or show. Not all titles are watch party-approved, so keep an eye out for the three little people icon – that's your golden ticket.
- Party Time, Excellent! Click the icon and prepare to unleash your inner party animal (well, maybe just click "Start the Party").
- Spreading the Invite Like Confetti: Once the party's prepped, you'll get a special link. Share this magical URL with your besties like it's a backstage pass to Beyonce's concert (spoiler alert: it's way less crowded).
Wait, There's More!
QuickTip: Focus more on the ‘how’ than the ‘what’.
While you're watching, you can chat with your fellow Huluvians using the chat function. Spill the tea on that plot twist, gush over the adorable dog, or roast that character's questionable fashion choices – the possibilities are endless (and infinitely more entertaining than staring at your own reflection on a black screen).
Pro Tip: For maximum fun, turn on captions and create a drinking game based on outrageous typos (because let's be honest, sometimes subtitles are a wild ride).
But Wait, There's More, More, More!
Here are some additional things to keep in mind:
QuickTip: Keep going — the next point may connect.
- The Party Don't Last Forever: There's a 7-person limit on watch parties, so keep it intimate or prepare for a virtual Hunger Games situation (winner gets the last slice of pizza).
- Tech Check, One Two: Make sure everyone's using a supported web browser. If someone shows up with a flip phone, well, that's on them.
- Content Kings and Queens: Only select on-demand shows and movies from Hulu's library are eligible for the watch party treatment. So, ditch your plans for that live sporting event (unless it's competitive napping, then by all means, party on!).
Now you're armed with the knowledge to become a Hulu Watch Party mastermind! Go forth and conquer those nights of FOMO with laughter, shared experiences, and maybe a healthy dose of competitive snacking.
