macOS Monterey introduced a new feature called SharePlay<\/a>, which enables shared, real-time media experiences in FaceTime. It’s easy to set up and use, and it’s available in iOS 15.1 and iPadOS 15.1 and later. To use SharePlay, everyone participating needs to be using an iPhone, iPad, or Mac that supports the feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, all participants should be subscribed to whatever service is being SharePlayed. For example, if you want to share music together, all participants should have Apple Music<\/a> subscriptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s how Apple describes SharePlay: Users can now share experiences with SharePlay while connecting with friends on FaceTime, including listening to songs together with Apple Music, watching a TV show or movie in sync, or sharing their screen to view apps together. SharePlay works across the iPhone, iPad, and Mac. With shared playback controls, anyone in a SharePlay session can play, pause, or jump ahead. What\u2019s more, SharePlay extends to Apple TV, so users can watch shows or movies on a big screen while connecting over FaceTime. SharePlay will keep everyone\u2019s playback in sync. Disney+, ESPN+, HBO Max, Hulu, MasterClass, Paramount+, Pluto TV, TikTok, Twitch, and many others are integrating SharePlay into their apps\u2014creating entirely new ways to connect.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
