What is WatchMates?

Host watch parties on ANY video on any site. Start a party, share a code, and stream together across sites (YouTube, Hulu, & more)

WatchMates is the easiest way to host synchronized watch parties for any video that plays in your browser. Start a party on YouTube, Prime Video, Disney+, Hulu, or most websites—share a party code, and everyone joins in perfect sync. Free to start — upgrade for video chat and voice during watch parties.

Why WatchMates?

  • Universal sync: Works with dozens of video players and websites — if it plays in your browser, WatchMates can sync it.
  • Fast setup: Host with two clicks. Guests join using a short party code — no account required for quick hangouts.
  • Real-time chat: Built-in chat keeps the convo flowing while you watch.
  • Accurate playback: Host controls (play/pause/seek) replicate instantly across participants for smooth viewing.
  • Privacy-first: We only use session-only identifiers and do not harvest video data. Designed for legal, personal use only.
