Watch together using SharePlay in the Apple TV app on iPad
In the Apple TV app , you can stream TV shows and movies in sync with friends and family while on a FaceTime call together using SharePlay. The controls are shared so anyone on the call can pause, rewind, or fast forward. With smart volume, media audio is adjusted automatically, so you can continue to chat while watching. (Settings like subtitles and volume are controlled separately by each person.)
![A FaceTime call, showing Apple TV+ video content being shared in the call. The FaceTime controls are shown at the top of the screen, the video is playing just below the controls, and the playback controls are at the bottom of the screen.](https://help.apple.com/assets/640A53E422C1DA4F8D3C4C1A/640A53F122C1DA4F8D3C4C32/en_US/096611df67e09825cbcf20044b6caa41.png)
Note: Some apps that support SharePlay require a subscription. To watch a movie or TV show together, every participant needs to have the same type of access to the content on their own device, in an app that supports SharePlay, through either a subscription or purchase. Their device must meet the minimum system requirements for SharePlay. SharePlay may not support the sharing of some movies or TV shows across different countries or regions. FaceTime, some FaceTime features, and other Apple services may not be available in all countries or regions.

With iPadOS 15.1 or later, you can start a FaceTime call in the Apple TV app while you’re browsing or watching video content, and share the item in sync with others using SharePlay. Everyone on the call needs to have the same type of access to the content on their own device, through either a subscription or purchase. Their device must meet the Minimum system requirements for SharePlay and screen sharing.
Find a show or movie you want to share, then tap the item to see its details.
Tap

The video plays in sync on Apple TV, and you can keep the conversation going on your iPad.
