WatchTogether is the fastest way to watch anything with anyone online. Create a room in one click, share your screen from any streaming service, and watch with up to 20 friends in real-time — completely free, no download needed.
💡 Quick start: Open watchtogether.watch → click "Create Room" → share your screen → send your 6-character code to friends. They're watching with you in under 60 seconds.
There are dozens of ways to watch content online with others — screen share on Discord, install Teleparty, use Zoom. But most of them require everyone to download an app, install a browser extension, or create yet another account. WatchTogether removes every one of those barriers.
The host creates a room and shares their screen. Friends click a link. That's it. No friction. No fuss. The movie starts within seconds of someone sending the link.
Watch your favorite shows together across any distance. Video calls make it feel like you're on the couch together.
Parents, siblings, grandparents — anyone in your family with a browser can join your watch party with a single click.
Stay connected with dorm friends who moved back home. Watch party your favorite shows just like you used to.
Run a weekly online movie club with discussion polls, live chat, and a room that holds up to 20 people.
Watching across borders and time zones is no problem. WatchTogether works globally from any country.
Team movie nights, company event livestreams, or virtual watch parties for remote employees — all possible with WatchTogether.
WatchTogether's screen sharing technology means there are no platform restrictions. Whatever is playing in your browser, you can share it. This includes:
| Feature | WatchTogether | Teleparty | Discord | Zoom |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| No download / extension | Yes | Extension required | App required | App required |
| Works with every streaming service | Yes | Limited platforms | Yes | Yes |

The host controls the playback. When they pause, everyone pauses. When they skip forward, everyone skips. No one falls behind or gets spoilers because of a buffering issue on their end.
A persistent chat panel lets everyone react and comment as the show plays. Send text, react with emojis, share funny moments — just like texting your friends during a show, but all in one place.
See your friends' faces as you react together. WatchTogether includes built-in WebRTC video and voice calls — no Zoom tab open in the background required.
Add friends using your WatchTogether Hash Key. See when they're online, when they're broadcasting live, and join their rooms instantly. No searching for usernames — just a simple connection system.
Between movies or during breaks, play built-in party games with your group. WatchTogether includes mini-games designed for online watch parties.
Choose who can find and join your room. Public rooms are discoverable by anyone on the platform. Friends-only rooms are private. Password-protected rooms add an extra layer of security.
Do a quick 5-minute test with one friend before the main group joins. Make sure your screen share quality is good and audio is working correctly in your browser.
Screen sharing works best in Chrome or Edge when sharing a browser tab. If you're sharing a full window of Netflix, make sure to select the correct tab in the share dialog.
The more tabs and apps running in the background, the more your CPU gets used for screen sharing. Close unnecessary tabs before starting a watch party for the best quality.
The 6-character room code is memorable and easy to share via text message. Your friends can also just go to watchtogether.watch and enter it in the "Join" box without needing to click a link.
