Frame-tight sync
Play, pause and seek land for everyone within a tenth of a second. Small drift is smoothed by an inaudible speed nudge, never a jarring jump. Ads and buffering are handled so nobody gets dragged backwards.
Checking who's watching…
Same couch. Different cities.
Press play together on YouTube, Netflix and more. Talk over voice, react in fullscreen, or share your screen in crisp HD with sound.
No account. No ads. Works in Chrome, Edge, Brave and Arc.
Why it feels like the same room
Everything a movie night needs, nothing it doesn't.
Share your screen
Stream a tab, a window or your whole screen in up to 1440p60, with full stereo sound from a tab.
Voice that ducks the movie
Talk like you're on the couch. The film dips while someone speaks and comes right back.
Chat in fullscreen
Messages and reactions float over the video, even in fullscreen, so nobody has to choose.
Schedule & remind
Set a time and a note, share one link. Guests add it to their calendar and get a nudge 10 minutes before.
The host holds the remote
Keep control, hand it to everyone, or pick who can press play. Kick trolls in one click.
Open to everyone
