SyncUp makes watching Hulu 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. Each viewer needs their own Hulu subscription.
Yes. SyncUp and the browser extension are free. Free rooms hold up to 5 people; the optional Plus plan ($3.99/month) lifts the cap to 50 for everyone in the room. You'll still need your own Hulu subscription for the content.
Yes. Hulu uses DRM-protected playback, so the SyncUp extension is required to sync video events. It is free and installs in under a minute on Chrome, Firefox, or Edge.
Hulu watch parties require a desktop browser because mobile browsers don't support extensions. SyncUp does work on mobile for YouTube, Twitch, and Kick without any extension.
SyncUp doesn't share Hulu accounts or streams. Each viewer signs in with their own Hulu account, so you're not violating any sharing policy. SyncUp only syncs playback events between viewers.
On-demand Hulu titles sync reliably through the extension. Hulu Live TV is also DRM-protected and works the same way, though live content already plays in real time, so there's less to keep aligned beyond pauses.
Install the free extension and you can start a Hulu watch party in a few minutes.
