Up and Running in Seconds
Name a room and SyncUp hands you a 6-character code, drawn from an alphabet that skips look-alikes like O and 0 so it survives being read out loud. Send that code to anyone. They join as guests, with no account, no download, and no card. Free rooms hold 5 people.
Your Favorite Platforms
YouTube, Twitch, and Kick play natively in the browser with nothing to install, alongside roughly 1000 other HTML5 video sites. Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, and Amazon Prime Video are DRM-protected, so those run through the free SyncUp extension instead. Either way, every viewer tracks the same position.
Why SyncUp works
Made for Moments Like These
Rooms get used for long-distance date nights, group hangouts, esports finals, and creators previewing cuts with collaborators. The mechanics stay the same each time: one shared queue, synced playback, chat running alongside. What changes is how many people are in the room, which is why the cap runs from 5 up to 50.
Long-Distance Dates
Movie nights with your partner, no matter the miles between you.
Queue up a playlist, dim the lights, and hit play at the exact same moment. SyncUp handles the timing so you can focus on each other.

The short version: SyncUp is free, needs no account to start, and runs in any modern browser. Free rooms hold 5 people, include an hour of voice chat a day, and stick around through 30 days of inactivity. Plus raises each of those limits. The details are below.
SyncUp is a free platform that lets you watch videos in sync with friends. It works with YouTube, Twitch, Kick, and thousands of other video sites. Create a room, share the code, and everyone sees the same thing at the same time.
Yes. The basics are free: rooms, sync, chat, playlist voting, friends, watching YouTube, Twitch and Kick. Free rooms hold up to 5 people. There's an optional Plus plan if you want bigger rooms or longer voice chat, but you don't need it.
Plus lifts the room cap from 5 to 50, removes the 1-hour daily voice limit, keeps your rooms and playlists around forever (instead of 30 days inactive), lets you upload bigger video files, and unlocks extras like custom room branding, passwords, and chat GIFs. If one person in the room has Plus, the bigger room cap applies to everyone in that room.
No account required to start watching. You can create and join rooms as a guest. Creating an account lets you save your rooms and access them later.
When someone plays, pauses, or seeks the video, everyone in the room follows along automatically. Room hosts can control who has permission to control playback. The sync happens in real-time through your browser, no extensions needed.
YouTube, Twitch, Kick, and thousands of HTML5 video sites work natively in SyncUp. For streaming services like Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, Amazon Prime Video, and other DRM-protected sites, install our free browser extension to enable synchronized playback.
Yes! SyncUp has built-in subtitle support. Subtitles are auto-extracted when available, and anyone in the room can upload their own SRT, VTT, or ASS/SSA files to share with the group. Each viewer can customize subtitle size, font, and style to their liking — your preferences are saved across sessions.
SyncUp pairs well with your favorite communication app. Most users run Discord, FaceTime, Zoom, or WhatsApp alongside SyncUp - you get synced video playback plus the communication tools you already love. This gives you better call quality than any built-in chat could offer.
