Overall effect is as if you all are watching the video sitting in the same room, reacting to movie scenes, chatting and laughing with each other. You can combine this with VoIP software like Skype and you can also talk directly about the movie. When someone skips the movie scene, it is changed for all friends and so on.

When anyone in the group pauses the movie, it is paused automatically for all the people. Any number of people can watch a movie, even if you are not in the same place and are located thousands of miles across the world. Syncplay synchronizes the video playback of a group of people over the Internet. And if you cannot find popcorn, you can always try Doritos. Even then you can enjoy watching the videos together with your friends by synchronizing the video playback through a small tool called Syncplay. But this is not always possible and sometimes you are stuck in your room trying to watch a video or movie on your small computer screen. This was my second shot at this issue, I had first put together a Python program which allowed two users to watch the same video locally with a regular Linux video player, so I could watch stuff with a relative, using MPRIS, a unified Linux / Free Desktop D-Bus interface to control music and video players.It is so much fun when all the friends go to nearest movie theater or multiplex and enjoy the movie over generously buttered popcorn. I did not want to set up such a service and so the tool does not solve the issue for many people, only those who are technically inclined. It would be nice to finish it and publish it though, but I'm more interested in the other things, and there are major issues: the videos need to live under the same domain as the app if I remember correctly because of browser security, so either people have to host the tool themselves or we would need to propose a service that would host people's videos while they are watching it, or at least to proxy them. and now I'm interested in other things, especially that the lock-downs are over. I had other things to do, in particular taking care of an open source network implementation of a popular letter-based game that I started in 2016 and then forgot (ran all this time on my server without maintenance at all, not appearing in top) and which suddenly attracted people during the lock-down. the thing had some glitches even if it mostly worked and did the job
#Syncplay mpc manual
I had to do some manual video upload and provide the exact video URL to the app to make things work I called this "Meet Anyway", it was my first Svelte app, and never released it for several reasons, among them: We would all connect to a Jitsi Meet room so we could here people laugh or react to the video.

Pausing or seeking would do it for everyone. The video would be served by my server, and anybody could control the playback. I developed a web app that allowed my friends and me to watch the same video synchronously during the lock-downs.
