Disney+ might be the first global streamer to get this cool new feature

Ahead of the release of Disney’s highly-anticipated Mulan remake, which the company will make available as a premium video-on-demand purchase for $29.99 in the Disney+ app, a rumor is circulating that Disney’s Netflix rival might be about to launch a cool new feature that even Netflix doesn’t have yet.

Code has been found on the Disney+ website that suggests the streamer is working on a native ‘group watch’ feature of some kind, which would presumably allow multiple people with Disney+ subscriptions to watch the streamer’s movies and shows collaboratively. This news was first reported by the blog Disney Plus Informer, which notes that code along these lines was added on August 28. And if it does indeed mean that a watch party feature of some kind is coming to Disney’s streamer (that’s still not a year old at this point), this would represent the first global streaming service to offer the feature.DON’T MISSToday’s top deals: Lysol wipes in stock, N95 masks, $85 home theater projector, $9 wireless charger, protein bars, more

Hulu launched a watch party feature earlier this year, and you can use a browser extension to gain the same functionality in Netflix (it’s just not a feature at this point that’s directly baked into the actual product). The Disney Plus Informer report also suggests that PIN code access may be a component of the new group watch feature, which could be a way for parents to exert the necessary control over what their kids watch across the service.
