Co-watching platforms have become increasingly popular for people who are physically separated but want to feel a sense of closeness and Squad offers a seamless way to bring up a small group of people together. Squad gives people the ability to open up a nine-person room for voice and video chat, screen sharing or watching content on Netflix, YouTube and TikTok together.
Unlike some co-watching systems, Squad doesn't require an extension or an installation, only a free app download for either iOS or Android, or a computer.
As more people are relying on their home desktops and laptop systems to connect them with friends and family throughout the day, co-watching platforms are emerging as a fun way for people to connect from afar.
