Plex has that option.

Jellyfin's syncplay is pure joy.

Does jellyfin have console apps? PS4, Xbox etc

Since Jellyfin v10.6.0, it's had a feature called SyncPlay allowing multiple users to watch the same thing at the same time (coordinates pauses, fast forwarding/rewinding, and all that between clients). I've used it and it worked like a charm, although I did find that not all clients support it.

We'll get it added to Roku one day 🤞

Can confirm group-watching with Plex. I did this quite a few times with some friends during the darkest initial pandemic times and it's a great way to connect with distant friends. I also recommend, as someone mentioned, a simultaneous discord chat. We exclusively watched horrible movies and MST3K'd the shit out of them.
