Poparty Host a party

Watch YouTube Together, in Sync

Watch Party keeps a YouTube video or a shared screen in sync for everyone in the room, with video chat and live emoji reactions layered on top. Pause, seek and play propagate to everybody, and a ready-gate waits for slower connections to buffer before playback starts. Free, browser-based, no download or account. The difference from a browser extension is that you get everyone's faces and voices in the same window as the video.

Players and setup

Watch Party supports 2–8 people. There is nothing to install on any device and no account to create — the host makes a room, shares the link, and everyone who taps it is in. It works on laptops, desktops, tablets and phones.

This game uses your webcam, which is the point of it — you will be asked for camera and microphone permission when you join.

Frequently asked questions

Is Watch Party free?

Yes — free, no account, no extension to install.

Do I need a browser extension?

No. It runs on a normal web page, which is why it works on phones too.

Can I share my screen instead of a YouTube link?

Yes. The host can share a screen, and can approve other people to share as well.

Does everyone need a fast connection?

Playback waits for the room to buffer before it starts, so one slow connection will not desync everyone.
