This browser extension is oriented toward users who want to organize online watch parties by synchronizing video playback across multiple remote devices.
Sync Watch
Sync Watch is a Windows plugin for the popular Chrome web browser that enables you to sync online video between multiple participants, guaranteeing everyone sees the content in real time without delays. It works with a wide range of streaming platforms, including YouTube, Netflix, Amazon Prime and more.
Seamless synchronization
With the help of this extension users can enjoy their favorite videos alongside their friends located elsewhere. There are instruments to ensure that every participant watches the same thing at the exact same time. This functionality simplifies the process of hosting virtual movie nights.
You are able to create a new room and invite other people by sharing the automatically generated link. The host controls playback, including:
- Pausing;
- Rewinding;
- Fast forwarding.
Other participants can only watch the content, which is important for facilitating a smooth viewing experience without unnecessary interruptions.
Target audiences
The plugin is perfect for users who are in a long distance relationship or live far from friends and family. It bridges the gap, making shared experiences possible despite physical distance. Moreover, Sync Watch might be utilized to stream educational content or webinars.
