Synctastic Extension

With this plugin you can watch any video on any website together with your friends!

Synctastic helps you to watch videos with your online friends. You will no longer need to manually sync your videos. This is especially helpful if some people in your group have slow internet or need frequent pauses. It inspired by SyncTube, but designed to work not only on YouTube but on every website that has a video in it.

*** How it works?
You choose one person as a room host(his/her name would be green). The host then plays some video. Plugin detects it and starts to broadcast the state of the video to everyone in the room. If another person in the room has the same video opened, it will start to follow the host's state.

*** User guide
