Game of Thrones. One play button for two laptops.

sound familiar?

Watching HBO Max long distance? We know this chat by heart.

Counting down over text. Somebody always ends up a few seconds ahead. You hear the laugh before you see the joke.

With Flickcall there is no countdown. One play button runs both laptops, and a pause on one side is a pause on both.

HBO Max watch party FAQs

Does HBO Max have a watch party feature?

The HBO Max web player has no watch party button. Flickcall adds one: a free HBO Max watch party extension for Chrome that keeps the show or movie in sync for everyone in the party, with video chat beside the player.

Can we watch HBO Max together on Discord?

Screen sharing HBO Max on Discord often shows your friends a black screen. With Flickcall nobody shares a screen: each of you plays HBO Max on your own laptop, and Flickcall keeps the players in sync.

Do we both need our own HBO Max account?

Each person watches on their own laptop, signed in to HBO Max. If you live apart, each of you needs your own HBO Max account or an eligible extra member.

Does the HBO Max plan with ads work?

Yes. Each person sees their own ad break on their own laptop. Flickcall holds the party while one of you is in a break, then play continues together.

Does it work for a movie night, not just episodes?

Yes. Open a movie, start the party, send the link; your friends land on it at your spot.

Can we watch HBO Max together long distance?

Yes, from different cities or countries, as long as HBO Max streams the show where each of you is. Catalogues differ from place to place, so pick a title you can both open.

Can I join an HBO Max watch party on my phone?

No. Flickcall runs in Chrome on a laptop or desktop. Phones aren't supported.

Is Flickcall free?

Yes. Core features like video playback sync and chat are free on every supported platform. Video and voice chat come with a free weekly allowance. Paid plans unlock unlimited video chat, and only one person in the party needs one.
