What is SyncUp?

SyncUp is a collaborative video watching platform that lets you watch videos with friends in perfect synchronization, no matter where they are. Built by a solo developer who wanted a simple way to watch content together without complicated setup or subscription fees.

Key Features:

  • No account required - Create a room and start watching in seconds. Share a simple room code with friends to invite them.

  • Perfect synchronization - Real-time sync technology using Socket.IO ensures everyone sees the same content at the exact same moment, typically within 200ms.

  • 1000+ supported websites - Watch content from YouTube, Twitch, Kick, and any website with an HTML5 video player. Movie trailers, music videos, live streams, gaming content - if it plays in a browser, you can watch it together.

  • Streaming service support - Watch Netflix, Disney+, and other streaming services together using the free browser extension for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. Setup takes less than a minute.

  • Local file sharing - Stream your own video files directly to friends via peer-to-peer connections. No uploads needed - your files stay on your device while everyone watches in sync.

  • Role-based permissions - Room owners can control who can play, pause, seek, and manage the playlist. Transfer ownership or assign moderator roles as needed.

  • Multi-user rooms - Watch with 2 people or 20. Real-time user presence shows who's in the room.

  • Playlist support - Queue up multiple videos with voting system for what to watch next.

  • Browser-based - Works in any modern browser on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android, and ChromeOS. No downloads required, instant access. Add to home screen for an app-like experience.

  • Privacy focused - Minimal data collection, no chat logs, no microphone access required. Use your favorite communication app (Discord, FaceTime, Zoom) alongside SyncUp.

Why SyncUp?

Unlike other watch party tools, SyncUp focuses on doing one thing exceptionally well: video synchronization. Rather than building mediocre chat features, it's designed to work alongside the communication tools you already love and trust. This means better performance, enhanced privacy, and a cleaner interface focused on the video.

The platform is continuously updated with new features and platform support. Because it's browser-based, updates are instant - no app store delays or forced downloads.
