WatchMates is a powerful and easy-to-use Chrome extension that lets you and your friends watch videos together—perfectly in sync—on virtually any website. Whether you're streaming on YouTube, Hulu, Prime Video, or exploring content on blogs, educational sites, or entertainment platforms, WatchMates makes shared viewing simple and seamless.
With just a few clicks, the host can start a watch party, generate a shareable party code, and invite others to join. All participants will automatically be navigated to the same video URL, synced to the same timestamp, and ready to watch together in real time. The extension also includes built-in chat, so you can share reactions and talk while watching.
WatchMates works behind the scenes using smart video detection, real-time synchronization powered by WebSockets, and universal compatibility with dozens of video players. No need to worry about platform restrictions—if the video plays in your browser, WatchMates can sync it.
Whether you're long-distance friends, family across time zones, or just looking for a way to enjoy shows and movies together, WatchMates brings shared moments back to your screen.
📌 Note: WatchMates is designed for personal use with legally accessible content. We do not support or encourage the use of pirated or unauthorized video sources.
