Host a Watch Party
Watch Parties are a great way to stay connected with your friends from Spotswood during this season of social distancing. Read on to learn how to host a Watch Party for your friends or neighbors.
How Do I Host a Facebook Watch Party?
You can create a watch party from your News Feed or timeline, in a group, on a Page, or from any video you’re watching. Keep in mind that you’ll need to be an admin or editor to start a watch party on a Page.
To create a watch party from your News Feed or timeline:
At the top of your News Feed or timeline, click Create Post.
- Click
then click
Watch Party.
- Search for a video or click the Live category to find our Sunday Service livestream.
- Click Add to Queue next to any videos you’d like to add to your watch party, then click Done.
- You can choose to add a description for your watch party, then click Post. You’ll see a message that says “Your Watch Party Is About To Begin.”
Once you’re in the watch party you can add friends to watch with you.
