Most watch party extensions are Chrome-only — including Teleparty. WatchNest is a native Safari app from the Mac App Store, so you can host synced Netflix, Disney+ and Prime Video nights right in Safari, with chat and built-in video calls.
Yes — WatchNest is a native Safari extension for Mac, available on the Mac App Store. It syncs Netflix, Disney+ and Prime Video across everyone in a private room, with live chat, emoji reactions and built-in video calls. Most watch party tools, including Teleparty, are Chrome-only and have no native Safari version.
To use a Chrome-only watch party extension like Teleparty on a Mac, you first have to install Chrome, switch out of Safari, and keep a second browser open just for movie nights. It works, but it's friction — and it leaves Safari and Apple users out.
WatchNest ships as a real Safari App Extension from the Mac App Store. Install it once, enable it in Safari, and host synced watch parties from the browser you already use — with chat, reactions and video calls built in. And a room still works if a friend joins from Chrome.
Open the Mac App Store, search WatchNest, and download it — it's free.
In Safari, go to Settings > Extensions and switch on WatchNest.
Create a room on Netflix, Disney+ or Prime and send the link. Everyone stays in sync.
