Watch YouTube videos with friends.
YouTube Party is a Chrome extension for watching YouTube videos synchronized with friends.
By synchronizing your YouTube playback experience across your watch party, YouTube Party offers a new way to experience watching your favorite videos with your friends and family around the world!
As you watch, you can chat and communicate about your favorite moments!
To use this extension:
1) Make sure you all download this extension!
2) If you’re creating the watch party, navigate to a YouTube video and the extension icon will light up. If you do not see the icon, make sure you pin the extension to your extensions bar.
3) Click the extension icon and press “Start the Party!”.
4) Send the link to a friend with the extension – they don’t have to click anything! They’ll automatically join your session. You will be notified in the chat when they join!
5) Enjoy chatting with your friends and watching your YouTube videos seamlessly synchronized!
6) If you want to exit a session, just reopen the extension and click ‘Leave Session.’

Hello! I am planning to use this for academic purpose. Can the chat be saved as proof of participation?
The only extension that works flawlessly with 5 second skips, quick sessions starts and easy sharing. Developers react very fast to any sort of problems that might occur. I honestly cant believe this is free.
EDIT: The issue was resolved quickly and the extension works well now.
Stopped working since new chrome update. I can start the party, but when I open the link in new tab, it turns into normal youtube link (the party= variable disappears). Cannot join anyone’s party, nor can they join mine. Is there any update to this?
This extension is amazing, but it just stopped working for me altogether for some reason. If you could help me fix this problem, it would really be appreciated
It doesn’t work anymore!
It no longer works and all links just direct me to a normal youtube video instea of a party. used to be good tho 🙂
Me and a friend tried to get it to work but on multiple occasions when we clicked on the link it just said ‘video unavailable’. This caused masses of fustration and didnt help us with our anger management issues. I would hope that you could improve this so that others dont have this issue with their anger and their time like we did.
Every time we went on the party the video would become unavailable however as soon as we went out the party the video was fine again. This caused so much frustration, would not recommend!
It’s the best youtube party app I could find, but as of recently (it started around 6 days ago) it just won’t work. Whenever I send the link to my friend, and they click it, the link just turns into a normal one (not the /party one) and it doesn’t work. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it and all that, but it won’t work on either end. It’s a great extension, just won’t work anymore
Just found this extension recently and I love it! Im just curious, if I purchased a movie on Youtube, will I be able to watch that with my friend who hasn’t purchased it?
Really liking this, just one small thing, is it possible for if you and a friend are watching a YouTube playlist, when one video finishes is it possible to have it automatically play the next video? Because when one video finishes it goes to the next one but doesn’t play it, it’d be great if it could auto play the next one, unless there is already a way to do that.
Other than that its great!
cumple su función, ta piolaaaa
Güzel arkadaşlarımla beraber video izlerken çok yararlı 🙂
This seemed to work seamlessly on the one free video I watched. Just curious: if you want to watch a YouTube premium film as a party, does everyone have to buy the film too, or does just the party host have to buy the film?
This works well! I wish more people would use it!
This is so far the best one.
But I hope if you can add a “hide a chat box” feature. IT WILL BE A BOMBBB
Chat stops working after “too many comments” or “too much time” (I’m not sure which is the issue). It doesn’t help that comments are spammed with play/pause information which may be triggered by other events (like a change in focus with the mouse). I’m using version 2.0.7.
Love it, I love the chat feature as well. Overall a really good program and I have had 0 issues with it.
It worked perfectly fine! But I would like if the chat was more noticeable, ty
I keep having experiences where random people start griefing my video experience
It works perfectly. I don’t see how anyone has any problems with this.
Legitimately works perfectly
es un asco de extensión, además se me agrego una persona extra que nada que ver. Definitivamente no sirve.
