Where it streams
We don't know yet where it streams. Herae works on any site with a video player, so whatever you both can open works.
How to watch it together from different places
Each of you opens I'm Not a Robot on your own account. Herae keeps the two players in sync, so a pause or a skip happens for both of you, and puts a video call in the corner of the film so you can see each other react.
