Host a movie night with anyone, anywhere. WatchTogether lets you share your screen from any streaming service, sync playback perfectly, chat live, and video call — all in one free browser tab.
Go to watchtogether.watch, sign in or continue as a guest, and click "Create Room." Your room is ready in seconds — no configuration needed.
Open Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, YouTube — or any video you want — and start the WatchTogether screen share. Your entire streaming service plays directly in the shared room.
Share the 6-character room code or invite link. Friends join from any browser instantly. They don't need to install anything or create an account — just click and watch.
Unlike app-specific solutions, WatchTogether uses screen sharing — so it works with literally every platform that plays video. Your friends don't need the same subscriptions as you, they just need a browser to watch.

Share your screen from any browser tab. Netflix, Disney+, local files — anything that plays, you can share. No platform restrictions.
React in real-time as the movie plays. Send text, emojis, and GIFs. Chat stays in sync with the video so nobody misses a reaction.
See everyone's faces while watching. No need for a separate FaceTime or Discord call — video is built directly into every room.
Create private rooms with a password or keep them invite-only. Your movie night stays just between you and the people you invite.
Emoji reactions, live polls ("what should we watch next?"), and more — making the online movie experience feel like a real shared event.
Friends can join and watch from their phone or tablet. No app download required — the mobile browser experience is fully supported for viewers.
Teleparty requires every person in the watch party to install a Chrome extension. If even one friend uses Firefox, Safari, or their phone — they're locked out. WatchTogether needs nothing installed by anyone. It also supports every streaming platform, not just the ones Teleparty has integrations with.
Discord requires everyone to have the Discord desktop app and an account. WatchTogether viewers can join from a plain browser tab with zero accounts or installs. And WatchTogether's video quality is optimized specifically for movie watching, not gaming.
Video call apps like Zoom compress screen share heavily — video looks blurry and choppy for streaming content. WatchTogether is built specifically for movie watching, delivering much better visual quality for shared video playback.
Watch2Gether only syncs YouTube and a few other platforms. WatchTogether's screen sharing approach means every streaming service works — not just ones the platform specifically supports.
Whether you're in a long-distance relationship or your college friends scattered across the country, WatchTogether makes it feel like you're in the same room. Video calls mean you can see each other's reactions, and the shared chat creates the social energy of a real movie night.
Watch a movie with parents, siblings, or extended family who live far away. Anyone with a browser and internet connection can join your room — including less tech-savvy family members who just click your link.
Organize a group watch party for a big new movie or TV show premiere. Create a room, set it to friends-only or public, and experience that shared "opening night" feeling even when you can't be in the same place.
Run a recurring online movie club with friends. WatchTogether rooms support up to 20 people, have a group chat for discussion, and let you run polls to vote on what to watch next.
Create a free room at watchtogether.watch, share your screen with the movie playing, and send friends your 6-character room code. They click join in any browser — totally free, no sign-up for them required.
Viewers watching through WatchTogether see your screen share, not their own Netflix account. So only the host needs the subscription. Your friends just need a browser and your room code.
Yes. WatchTogether works globally. As long as both people have internet access and a browser, you can watch together from any two countries. Note that content availability depends on the host's streaming service location.
Up to 20 participants can join a single WatchTogether room simultaneously — enough for a movie club, a house party, or a big family watch night.
Screen sharing latency is typically under 1–2 seconds, which is imperceptible during movies. All viewers see the same frame at the same time — the host's playback controls the experience.
Viewers can watch from any mobile browser. The host (person sharing the screen) gets the best experience on a laptop or desktop, but all friends watching can join from their phones or tablets.
