SyncUp makes watching Crunchyroll together straightforward and free. Here's how it works:
Play, pause, and seek actions sync within 200ms via WebSocket. Occasional drift can happen on longer sessions, but a quick resync fixes it.
Invite as many people as you want. We've tested rooms with 50+ viewers without issues.
SyncUp syncs playback timing only - video streams directly from the source at whatever quality you choose.
Install the extension once (takes about a minute), then create watch parties with a couple clicks.
Install the free SyncUp browser extension, create a watch party room, and share the room code. Everyone with the extension installed stays in sync within about 200ms while watching anime on Crunchyroll. Each viewer signs in with their own account.
Yes. SyncUp and the browser extension are free. Free rooms hold up to 5 people, and the optional Plus plan ($3.99/month) lifts the cap to 50 for everyone in the room. A free Crunchyroll account works, though some titles require a Crunchyroll Premium subscription.
Yes. SyncUp syncs whatever each viewer is playing in their Crunchyroll player, so subbed and dubbed both work. Just make sure everyone in the room selects the same audio and subtitle track before starting.
Yes. Crunchyroll uses DRM-protected playback, so the SyncUp extension is required to keep video state in sync. The extension is free and installs in under a minute on Chrome, Firefox, or Edge.
Crunchyroll watch parties require a desktop browser because mobile browsers don't support extensions. SyncUp works on mobile for YouTube, Twitch, and Kick without an extension.
Ad breaks can cause brief drift between viewers because ad lengths and pods differ per account. A quick resync at the end of an ad break realigns everyone. Crunchyroll Premium removes ads entirely if you want tighter sync.
Install the free extension and you can start a Crunchyroll watch party in a few minutes.
