You have the option to either invite your own friends to a room that you created or join a room that is already in operation and become a part of the viewing party and conversation. Type in your temporary nickname, and it will bring you to a video (and chat) room where you can start adding friends to chat. To get started, simply click the “Create a Room” button on its home page. You need to have the movies you want to watch stored locally on your hard drive, but once you set up, it’s just a case of you and your friend saying you’re “Ready to Watch” and hitting the Play button.

Multi-platform and compatible with all the biggest video player apps out there (including VLC, KM Player and Media Player Classic), Syncplay is a free tool that allows you to sync video streams with friends. There’s even a twoseven Chrome extension that instantly lets you know if a video on a given website is supported in the app and lets you share it with your friend with a couple of clicks. The browser-based app has built-in text and video capabilities, so you don’t have to rely on an external video chat app to see your friend and share your video-viewing experience with them face-to-face.

When the max playback limit is reached, playback will end. Playback of videos is limited to 180 minutes if watching with a group or 30 minutes if watching alone. Volume changes are always local, so if any user adjusts the volume or mutes the YouTube player, only their own audio is affected. We recommend Hosting when in big groups and Sharing when in small groups! If I change the volume, does it change everyone else's volume? When sharing, all participants have controls over the playlist and the current video, and their actions apply to every user in the session. If the host wants others to be able to control the video, they can toggle to Sharing mode. In hosting mode, anyone can add videos to the playlist, but only the host can pause, scrub, skip, reorder, and delete any video. What does it mean to be Hosting or Sharing?īy default, the person who started Watch Together is Hosting, and they control what’s playing. Participants in the session can continue adding videos to the playlist throughout the Watch Together session. To add videos to the shared playlist, click a trending video, paste a YouTube video link into the search bar, or search directly.Īs soon as there are videos in the playlist, they will begin autoplaying in order.
