Watch movie on skype via screen share or is there a better way.

willie2020

Hey guys so here's what im trying to do. so my girl friend livs in usa and im hear in New Zealand and we both love watching movies and i was seeing if there was a way to watch moves together via the net ( i know cute right) without both of us downloading it and pressing play at the same time as the gf is not that tech savvy. we both have skype premium as we skype alot so we tried the upgraded screen searing you get with premium. i put a movie on my pc and hit the shear screen button and we can watch it like that as she sees what i see and the sound comes threw my mic os she gets sound to and we can also talk and be al cute and shit like we are watching it together. and tbh it to my surprise works realy realy realy well but there is just a tiny tiny bit of lag in the movie when we do it  realy small she can even see it but i can and it pisses me off as im ocd like that lol) dose anyone think they know another way we can do this

Use Teamviewer and download the movie for her. Other than that it's over the internet, there will always be latency.

Not really sure...

I know that Skype Screen Share is generally really laggy...

There is a program that IT people use (and scammers) that you can see there screen and its really good quality so maybe figure out what that is :).not sure about latency though. (my friends use gmod cinema :P )

That's called Teamviewer, as mentioned one post above you.

Teamviewer does not play nicely with quick moving content such as movies or games.
