+ Followers are now immediately synced to session owner on joining, and when the owner pauses, plays or seeks.
+ Improved UX of the peeking sidebar on the right edge of the window. Now when you hover over the right edge of the window the sidebar peeks then hides (vs some part of it lingering while you hover and potentially obstructing the Netflix UI). You can still activate the sidebar by clicking near the edge after the sidebar has peeked and hid.
+ Standardised font sizes on the pixel unit.

30 June 2020, Version 1.2.0:
+ Users can now specify and edit their own names

+ Dark mode has arrived. You can toggle between light and dark, whatever works for you :)

After installing this extension and watching a show together with a friend on Netflix, I discovered that I can no longer use Netflix separately from the "party"--even if I close the browser and launch a new instance, on trying to go to netflix.com I am redirected to the "party" session watching whatever we were last watching. Even if I navigate "back" using the Netflix UI while in this view, it again takes me straight to the party again. There doesn't seem to be any way to get out of this state, so it seems that I need to uninstall the extension. |

This extension is terrible; it's the same as pressing start at the same time because it doesn't sync; it doesn't pause the movie for all parties; each party must stop the movie on their own device. NOT RECOMMENDED |

Very disappointed. We used it one night and it worked perfectly and we were so excited about it. But ever since then the program stops working after about 2 minutes no matter what we do. For multiple nights we have done everything we can think of, but it completely fails every time. |
