Syncplay lets friends watch the same video at the same moment, even in different homes. Everyone opens their own copy of the file, joins the same virtual room, and Syncplay keeps each copy in step. One person pauses, and every screen pauses.

Key Features

• Syncs play, pause and seek for everyone in the same virtual room
• Works with popular Mac media players including mpv, VLC and IINA
• Streams nothing itself, since each viewer plays a local copy
• Join public servers, or run your own server for a private group
• Chat with the group in a simple built in chat box

System Requirements

Syncplay 1.7.6 needs macOS 15 or later, a supported player such as mpv, VLC or IINA, your own copy of the video, and an internet connection.

FAQs

Does Syncplay stream the video to my friends?

No. It only sends playback commands like play, pause and seek. The video never leaves your Mac, so each viewer needs their own copy.

Do we all need the exact same file?

That works best. Files with a different length or frame rate can drift apart, so agree on one release before you start.

Is Syncplay free to use?

Yes. Syncplay is free and open source, the public servers are free to join, and the project is run by its community.
