Break up your quaran-routine and invite your housemates for a Science on Tap Philadelphia monthly movie screening with Teleparty (formerly Netflix Party). Talk to our expert hosts through the chat function, ask questions in real time, and learn more about the myths and misrepresentations in some of our favorite movies.

If you have a Netflix account and a home computer, you can join our party! This is a free event, but preregistration is required as Netflix Party limits the number of attendees for each session.

How to Access Teleparty

Netflix Party is now called Teleparty, but don’t be alarmed! It’s still the same platform. You can find instructions on how to install Teleparty at teleparty.com.

1. All preregistered guests will be sent the link to the event before the event start time. It will also be available in the Digital Links section of the Eventbrite event.
2. Make sure to download the Teleparty extension for Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.
