Common questions
SyncUp is built by one developer. Anything missing here, just ask.
Contact the developerDoes everyone need their own subscription, or can the host share access?
For streaming services like Netflix, Disney+, Max, Hulu, Prime Video, Crunchyroll, Paramount+, Apple TV+ and Peacock, every viewer needs their own active subscription. SyncUp synchronises the timestamp each person's own player is at; it does not restream the host's video, so there is nothing to share. That is also true of Teleparty and every other extension-based watch party tool. YouTube, Twitch, Kick, SoundCloud and YouTube Music are the exception: they are free to watch or listen to, so nobody needs an account at all.
Which platforms work without installing anything?
YouTube, Twitch, Kick, SoundCloud, YouTube Music and standard HTML5 video sites all work directly in the browser with no extension and no signup, on desktop and on mobile. The nine DRM-protected streaming services need the free SyncUp browser extension for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera or Brave.
Can I watch together on my phone?
Yes for YouTube, Twitch, Kick, SoundCloud, YouTube Music and HTML5 video, which run in any mobile browser. Streaming services are desktop-only for now, because mobile browsers cannot run the extension that syncs them.
How many people can watch together at once?
Free rooms hold up to 5 people. If anyone in the room has SyncUp Plus, the cap rises to 50 for everyone in that room, so one Plus member can host a larger group without the rest subscribing.
What is the best app to watch movies together online?
It depends on where the film lives. If it is on YouTube or a normal video site, SyncUp needs no extension or signup and works on mobile. If it is on Netflix, Disney+ or Max, you need an extension-based tool and everyone needs their own subscription, which is where SyncUp's free extension or Teleparty both apply. If you want to watch a file from your own computer, SyncUp streams it peer-to-peer without uploading it anywhere.
