This typically involves a third-party application or browser extension used in conjunction with the console’s capabilities to facilitate a communal viewing session.

It allows individuals to share reactions and commentary in real-time, thereby enhancing engagement with the content and fostering a sense of community. The rise of this kind of features coincided with an increased demand for remote social interaction, particularly during periods of physical distancing.
