Product Information
What is Syncplay?
Syncplay enables people to enjoy shared viewing experiences even when miles apart, allowing friends to watch anime, movies, TV shows, and other media together. The Syncplay client launches a media player on your computer, connects to a Syncplay server, and joins a virtual room on that server. Pauses, unpauses, and seeks performed in that media player instance are relayed through the server to other viewers, enabling their media players in the same virtual room to replicate these actions. The server keeps track of everyone's position in the video, so if someone joins, they can be brought to the correct spot, and if someone gets too far ahead, synchronization can be restored.
