When you paste a YouTube or .mp4 link into your WatchTogether room, all viewers load the same video. When the host plays, pauses, or seeks to a different time, everyone's player updates instantly. No one gets ahead or falls behind.
Unlike screen sharing where only the host controls playback, the synced video player lets anyone in the room play, pause, and seek — and it stays in sync for everyone.
Since everyone loads the video independently from YouTube's servers, there's no quality loss from screen sharing. Everyone gets full HD quality directly from YouTube.
Only publicly accessible YouTube videos work. Unlisted videos work if you have the link. Private videos (set to private in YouTube) cannot be loaded by other viewers.
