Choose what you want to share: a movie night, a screening, a meet-and-greet or a live event. Cya brings participants together with live interaction around the experience.

## 1. Choose your experience

[Watch movies with friends](https://cya.live/info/watch-movies-with-friends)

[Host a virtual event](https://cya.live/info/virtual-events)

## 2. Check access before you invite

For services such as Netflix, participants need their own applicable access. For ticketed events, check the event details and ticket requirements before joining.

## 3. Bring people together

Share the event with the people you want to join. Use Cya’s live interaction to make the experience social.

## Do I need my own Netflix subscription to watch with friends?

Cya’s Netflix guide requires participants to have access to Netflix. Cya coordinates the shared experience; it does not supply the subscription or content rights.
