Create a room, invite someone, and watch web, cloud, or local videos together. Play, pause, seeking, and playback progress stay synchronized, allowing people far apart to share the same moment. REAL-TIME PLAYBACK SYNC The room synchronizes play, pause, seeking, and playback progress. After a network fluctuation, WeSync continues calibrating playback to bring everyone back to the same moment. GLOBAL DANMAKU Friends' messages travel across the picture as Danmaku while the video plays. Keep watching without switching screens, and share every comment, reply, and reaction at exactly the right moment. WATCH YOUR WAY, TOGETHER Open a web video in the built-in browser, choose content from a supported cloud drive, or play a local video on your device. You bring the video. WeSync brings everyone into the same room. WATCH AND TALK Room messages stay over the picture, so you never need to leave the moment. Live voice lets conversations, laughter, and even silence happen naturally.

Invite a friend 3. Choose a video and press play Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Voice calls and cloud watch parties require WeSync Pro for the host.
