What is Paramount Plus? The Ultimate Beginner’s Guide
paramount plus free trial icon

Previously known as CBS All Access, Paramount Plus is steadily becoming a streaming service worth paying attention to. Newly relaunched in 2021, it offers some great movies and shows even if it's not as high-profile as some alternatives. If you need to know more about it, read on while we answer pretty much every question you could possibly have about Paramount's streaming service.
What is Paramount Plus?
Paramount Plus's origins begin under a different name. The streaming service owned and operated by Paramount Global was first called CBS All Access. It launched on October 28 2014 before being expanded and rebranded as Paramount Plus on March 4, 2021, following the 2019 re-merger of CBS and Viacom. Since then, the service has gradually expanded both in terms of content and in terms of its reach. Originally launched in the U.S., the service has expanded to international markets, starting with Latin America and the already existing Canadian service. Since then, Nordic countries have followed along with Australia.

Paramount Plus offers quite a lot of content and all of it is, of course, owned by Paramount. Since its relaunch, it has offered true crime series such as The Real Criminal Minds, as well as a revival of the BET series, The Game, a drama based on Albert S. Ruddy's experiences filming The Godfather called The Offer, and much more. As expected from most streaming services, content is varied to cater to the whole family while ensuring there's something for every mood too. The service includes content from MTV, VH1, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, BET, and Smithsonian Channel, so there's generally something for everyone. In all, the catalog numbers more than 30,000 television series episodes and up to 1,000 film titles.

Disney Plus Watch Party — What Is It, and How Does It Work
what is disney plus watch party remote control feature image

One of the best features of Disney Plus is its Watch Party feature, also known as GroupWatch. It's a great way of joining together to watch all your favorite shows via the streaming service. Read on while we tell you all about it and how to use Disney Plus Watch Party.
What is Disney Plus Watch Party?
Launched in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, Disney Plus Watch Party (also known as GroupWatch) allows you to watch a show or movie together with up to six other friends, all while doing so remotely. The idea is that it saves the need for you all to be in the same room to watch a show together. The feature syncs Disney Plus playback with the other part of the group so that you are all watching at the same time. While doing so, each user can pause, rewind, or fast forward the content for the whole party, so no one ever falls behind. There is no "leader" of the GroupWatch. Everyone is equal with the ability to control the viewing experience.

Disney Plus GroupWatch works with all Disney Plus apps. That means whether you are watching via the Disney Plus website, iOS or Android apps, or via your smart TV or other devices, you can participate in a GroupWatch. It's perfect for a large family or group of friends that are temporarily (or permanently) scattered around the world but still want to watch TV together. Disney recommends that it works particularly well when watching a season premiere or a big movie release. After all, movies like Encanto are much better when watched together, right?
