YouTube With Friends Extension

Watch YouTube Videos with your family and friends!

To sync up video playback, all you need to do is:
1) Find a video you want to watch. Create the party using the 'Start Watching' button.
2) Send the link provided in the extension to all your friends you want to watch with. Make sure those viewing all have the YouTube With Friends Chrome Extension downloaded and installed. Upon joining the link, also make sure they click on the red YouTube With Friends logo.
3) Once everyone has joined the party, use the video player normally either with your mouse or keyboard to control the party's video playback and sync up!

Tarryn “Tea Time With Tarryn” (ID: 000000ed9fddd1ac) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 07/23/2022 Doesn't work. I we all join and the video doesn't sync. In fact if we set it up so that one person has control then no one else can play the video at all. It just won't play for anyone else.
