How to Use Watch Now on Instagram and Messenger
To start watching the show with your friends start a video call on Messenger or Instagram, or create a new Messenger Room.
Within your Instagram video call, just tap the media button in the bottom right and go to the ‘TV & Movies’ tab. Within a Messenger video call, swipe up to see the menu and select Watch Together.
