About

Synckro

Features
Read full description

Synckro keeps a video in step for everyone watching it, so a film with friends in three cities feels like a film on one sofa. One person starts a room and pastes a YouTube or Vimeo link. Everyone who joins sees the same second of the same video. Pause, and it pauses for everyone. Skip back thirty seconds, and everyone goes with you. No counting down, no "wait, where are you?", no starting again because somebody's connection stuttered. WHAT A ROOM HAS Perfect sync. Every player corrects itself against the same clock. A slow connection catches up on its own instead of leaving somebody behind. A queue everyone votes on. Anyone in the room can add a video, and everyone gets one vote. Whatever is on top plays next, so nobody has to be the person who decides. Chat while you watch. Messages sit over the video in fullscreen, so saying something does not mean missing anything. Push-to-talk voice. Hold to talk, let go to listen. Voice goes phone to phone, which is why it is free and stays quick. Rooms that are yours. Public if you want people to find it, friends-only, or invite-only with a code. FREE No ads. No subscription. No account tier that unlocks the good part. Synckro is free, and built to stay that way. WHO IT IS FOR Synckro is for people 18 and over. Public rooms mean strangers, so every room gives you the ability to report a message or a person, block somebody, and if you are the host mute or remove them. Videos play through YouTube's and Vimeo's own players. Synckro does not host, copy or store video, and playback follows those services' own terms.
