Description

YouTube With Friends allows you and friends to watch synchronized YouTube videos together.

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!
