It's not an exclusive film. You have to pay additional $30 for watching it on Disney+. It's a pay per view model on top of subscription.

Disney+ is jumping onto the co-viewing bandwagon with a new feature called GroupWatch.

The experience, which launches Tuesday in the U.S. after a test run in Canada, Australia and New Zealand, allows up to seven people to watch the same Disney+ title together, even if they are in separate places.

Few co-viewing experiences have been available on television sets, but GroupWatch works across a number of platforms, including web browsers, mobile devices, connected TV boxes and smart TVs. “If we had launched this as a [web] extension, out of our 60 million subscribers, it would have been a drop in the bucket that would ever use the product,” says Jerrell Jimerson, senior vp product management for Disney+. “The vast majority of our viewing happens on televisions.”

Better late than never: Disney Plus just added the ability for subscribers to share links to specific titles — like its hit series “The Mandalorian” — with friends and family members on social media and via messaging apps.

To share a piece of content, Disney Plus subscribers must tap the new “Share” button found on a Disney Plus title’s details page. They then select the preferred platform (i.e. Facebook, Twitter, or messaging app) and if applicable, who they are sending it to. The share button will compose a pre-populated message (e.g., “I thought you might like ‘The Mandalorian’ on Disney+”) but subscribers can overwrite it with their own personal message.
