Frequently Asked

Is this actually free? What's the catch?

No catch. WatchTogether.io is genuinely free - no premium tiers, no "upgrade to unlock," no ads. We built this because we wanted a good sync tool that didn't suck.

Do I need to make an account?

Nope. Just pick a display name and you're in. We don't want your email, we don't want to send you newsletters.

How is this different from Watch2Gether?

Faster setup, no account prompts, cleaner interface, better host controls, and our AI DJ feature. Try both and see what works for you.

How does the sync work?

When someone plays, pauses, or seeks, we tell everyone else's player to do the same instantly. Everyone loads from YouTube directly, we just keep the timing in sync.

What can I watch?

Currently YouTube - paste any YouTube link and it works. Music videos, movies, documentaries, whatever YouTube has. More platforms coming soon.

Is there a limit on people?

No hard limit. We've had watch parties with 2 people and watch parties with dozens. The more the merrier.

Can I save my room?

Add a password when creating a room and it becomes permanent. Your playlist saves, you can come back anytime.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes! Works in any modern browser - Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge. Desktop, tablet, phone.
