Why Netflix Has Different Movies and TV Shows Across Different Countries
If you’ve ever noticed that the Netflix library varies depending on where you are, you’re not alone. This can be particularly frustrating when a show you’re dying to watch is available in one country but not another. So why does Netflix have different movies and TV shows across different regions? It all comes down to licensing agreements, content regulations, and viewer preferences. In this blog post, we'll explore the main reasons behind these regional differences and what they mean for Netflix users.
How to Set Up and Use a VPN with GlobeFlix for Unlimited Streaming Options
Streaming your favourite movies and TV shows can be frustrating when you realise that the titles you want to watch aren't available in your country. This is where GlobeFlix and a VPN (Virtual Private Network) come into play. By combining the power of GlobeFlix with a VPN, you can unlock a world of unlimited streaming options and access specific catalogues from different countries. In this guide, we’ll show you how to set up and use a VPN like NordVPN with GlobeFlix to enhance your streaming experience.
Bridging the Distance: How GlobeFlix Helps Long-Distance Individuals Watch Together
Long-distance relationships and friendships come with unique challenges, one of the most frustrating being the inability to share simple, everyday activities. Among these, watching a movie or TV show together often seems impossible due to the varying catalogues available in different countries on streaming services like Netflix and Disney Plus.
1. Using GlobeFlix to Find a Title
The first step to a successful movie night is finding a title that everyone can watch. Here’s how GlobeFlix makes this easy:
- Go to the GlobeFlix dashboard and sign in to your account.
- Input the countries where you and your movie night partner is located. GlobeFlix will show you a list of movies or TV shows available in the selected countries.
- Use the filtering tools to find the perfect movie or TV show. You can filter by streaming platform, release year or rating to match your preferences.
- Once you find a title that everyone agrees on, you’re ready to set up the viewing party!
2. (Optional) Use a VPN Like NordVPN
Sometimes, the title you want to watch might not be available in all the regions. In this case, using a VPN can help.
- We recommend NordVPN for its fast speeds and extensive server network.
- Download and install the NordVPN app, and log in with your account details.
- Select a server in a country where the desired title is available. For example, if you want to watch a movie only available in the US, connect to a US server.
- Use a site like WhatIsMyIP.com to ensure your virtual location has changed.
3. Use a Watch Party Website (Like TeleParty)
To sync up your viewing experience, use a watch party service like TeleParty:
- Download and install the TeleParty extension for your browser.
- Navigate to the streaming service that hosts your chosen title and start playing the movie or TV show.
- Click on the TeleParty extension icon and create a party. This will generate a link that you can share with your friends or partner.
- Everyone clicks on the link to join the party, and TeleParty will sync the playback, ensuring everyone watches the movie at the same time.
4. Call via Discord
To enhance the movie night experience, set up a video call on Discord:
- If you don’t already have it, download and install Discord. Create an account and join a voice channel with your friends or partner.
- Begin a video call within the voice channel. You can minimise the window and add an overlay to keep the video call visible while you watch the movie.
- With the video call overlay, you can see each other’s faces and reactions throughout the movie, making the experience more interactive and enjoyable.
