For plex users, if your friends can access your plex server, this is trivial.

One of you starts watching a movie, the others start watching the same movie and it asks them "would you like to resume from X". Just say Yes and you're all watching the movie in sync.

I love that you can do this with Netflix now though, this seems like one if those features that could have (was?) In the original release.

Does that keep them in sync if someone pauses, jumps back, seeks, etc?
Does this work with Plex for XBox One? If so, can you do a party chat while it's running? That'd be the awesome hacky answer to 360's great Netflix Party Mode.
