Host free Disney+ watch parties for Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, and everything on Disney+. The SyncUp browser extension keeps everyone perfectly synchronized.
Free for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge
SyncUp natively supports YouTube, Twitch, Kick, and thousands of HTML5 video sites - no extension needed. For streaming services like Disney+, our free browser extension enables synchronized playback. Each person needs their own Disney+ subscription.
Disney+ used to have a native feature called GroupWatch, but Disney shut it down on September 18, 2023. Last verified: May 2026. That leaves no built-in way to watch Disney+ together today, which is why most people now use a third-party sync tool.
GroupWatch was also fairly limited while it lasted. It capped rooms at 7 people, only let you react with emoji (no text or voice chat), and required everyone to be in the same country. So even if it were still around, the experience was thinner than people remember.
SyncUp keeps play, pause, and seek aligned across the room within about 200ms over a WebSocket connection. Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, or a National Geographic documentary all sync the same way, because SyncUp only mirrors playback timing and never touches the video stream itself.

SyncUp syncs playback timing only - video streams directly from the source at whatever quality you choose.
