As part of virtual Norwescon, we will be hosting virtual watch parties on Thursday, Friday and Saturday night of the convention. What is a virtual watch party? It is a way to watch the same movies with other Norwescon members, and have a group text chat with them at the same time. We will be using a Chrome plugin called “Scener” which will sync all the video streaming and provide the group chat functionality.
Due to licensing issues, you will need to have an account on a major video streaming service to join the watch party. We will use a different streaming service each night. The current plan is to use Netflix, Amazon Prime, and HBO Max.
As we get closer to the convention, we will announce the movies and post a list on the website.
