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!

Was the best option, now it asks to read my history… Lol! No thanks. UNINSTALLED!!!
Really great extension, very happy overall. One big complaint though, every time you start up a new video you have to create a new room, which is a pain as some youtube videos are so short. It would be great if you could queue things, or search things, or even just play through an existing queue of youtube videos. Otherwise great app!
Awesome plugin! Can I suggest using a bitly or url forwarder? When I pasted it in my steam chat for some reason the ywf token was getting stripped off.
Works easily and much more reliable than other extensions!
Works fine with one other friend, haven’t tried it with more. Only wish is that there was an option to keep the chat displayed at all times. Currently when I click to check something else on screen, it closes, and while it pops back up when I hit the icon in the bar, it diminishes the enjoyment.
It worked perfectly when I had two other people watching! What is the max number of people that can join a party?
Amazing works perfectly
muy bueno uwu
de pana
No matter how many attempts at using this extension, my friend and I both constantly see “Invalid session”. I really gave it my best shot and it disappointed me. Great concept, if it worked.
This is phenomenal. Very aesthetically pleasing and very user friendly. I am of 70 years and I understand how to use this add on!
“Video Unavailable” What a scam.
it works
Doesn’t work. I am on a PC and my friend is on a mac, and we both get the message “invalid session”.
I could sync up with another incognito browser on the same PC, but not with my friend who is on a windows 7 pc.
Funcionou, parece magica, muito legal
genial, nomas cambiaria que cno tenga que cambiar el link tooodo el tiempo cada vez que quiero ver otro video diferente
Works as described, I recommend it to anyone wanting to watch YouTube videos together 🙂
I’d like it if it let you follow the host to another video.
works lovely, only issue is that adverts cause a video to start from beginning again, but its not a big deal for me! thank you for this extension!
It’s very intuitive and simple to use!
