A long distance movie night that feels like being together

Distance does not have to cancel movie night. CouchSync Live keeps your video in sync, lets you talk and see each other while it plays, and adds reactions, chat, and small games so the night feels shared.

Everything stays in sync while you talk.

Ways to watch

  • YouTube: paste a link and watch together.
  • Your own video file: each of you selects the same file on your own computer. Nothing is uploaded, and CouchSync Live keeps both playbacks in sync.
  • Screen sharing: share your screen with the room for things you have the right to show.

Make it feel like a date

  • Video and voice calls inside the room
  • Emoji reactions that float across the screen
  • Chat with timestamps you can jump back to
  • Movie trivia and quick polls for the in-between moments
  • Audio ducking that lowers the movie when someone speaks

Tips for a smooth night

  • Use headphones to avoid echo on the call.
  • Run the device check in the lobby to test your camera and microphone before you start.
  • For video files, make sure you both have the same file.
  • A stable internet connection helps most. If someone's connection stalls, playback pauses for everyone and resumes together.
