Additional apps will be adding SharePlay support soon, including SoundCloud and TuneIn. With Apple Music, users can listen to a much-anticipated new album together or their favorite DJ mix completely in sync. Users can bring songs, albums, and playlists right into their FaceTime call for a shared listening experience. And soon, users will be able to watch together using apps like BET+, Disney+, ESPN, HBO Max, Hulu, MasterClass, Pantaya, Pluto TV, and Starz.
Users can even stream live content, like the latest game in the NBA app, or talk with friends over FaceTime while watching a favorite esports stream on Twitch.
#APPS THAT SUPPORT SHAREPLAY TV#
Movies and TV shows can be streamed in sync while connecting over FaceTime with friends, offering a rich, real-time connection while watching the same content through apps like Apple TV+, MUBI, Paramount+, and SHOWTIME. In addition to enjoying apps together, users can share their screens to browse the web, look at photos, or help each other out while on a FaceTime call. SharePlay is available with Apple TV+, Apple Music, Apple Fitness+, and some of the most popular apps in the App Store. Apple TV supports SharePlay so users can watch shared shows or movies on the big screen while using their personal device to continue connecting with friends over FaceTime. Each participant in the SharePlay session streams directly from the relevant app on their own device, delivering high-fidelity audio and video.
When users prefer to have uninterrupted sound, they can simply tap on the Messages button in the FaceTime controls to jump to a shared thread and keep the conversation going. With dynamic volume controls, audio from the streaming content will automatically lower when a FaceTime participant is speaking, making it easy to continue the conversation with friends despite a loud scene or climactic chorus. SharePlay sessions offer shared playback controls, so anyone on the FaceTime call can play, pause, or jump ahead while enjoying synced media. For example, users can chat with each other while having a viewing party, listening to an album with a friend, or completing a fitness challenge together from wherever they are, and SharePlay keeps all of these activities in sync across everyone on FaceTime. SharePlay makes it possible for iPhone, iPad, and Mac users to share experiences with friends and family while on a FaceTime call. New Ways to Stay Connected Through FaceTime
