Syncplay Syncplay
winget install --id=Syncplay.Syncplay -e Syncplay synchronises the position and play state of multiple media players so that the viewers can watch the same thing at the same time. This means that when one person pauses/unpauses playback or seeks (jumps position) within their media player then this will be replicated across all media players connected to the same server and in the same 'room' (viewing session). When a new person joins they will also be synchronised. Syncplay also includes text-based chat so you can discuss a video as you watch it (or you could use third-party Voice over IP software to talk over a video).
Syncplay is a media synchronization tool designed to enable real-time shared viewing experiences across multiple devices. It synchronizes the play state and position of media players so that everyone in the same virtual "room" watches content simultaneously, ensuring a cohesive experience.
Key Features:
- Real-Time Synchronization: Automatically syncs playback actions like pausing, unpausing, and seeking across all connected devices.
- Text-Based Chat Integration: Allows users to discuss content while watching, fostering collaboration and interaction.
- Multi-Platform Compatibility: Works with various media players, including mpv, MPC-HC, and VLC, on Windows, Linux, macOS, and other platforms.
- Cross-Platform Support: Enables synchronization across different operating systems for a seamless experience.
- Voice Chat Integration: Supports third-party VoIP software like Mumble or Skype for enhanced communication during playback.
Audience & Benefit: Ideal for remote friends, families, or groups who want to watch videos together but are geographically separated. Syncplay ensures everyone stays in sync, eliminating the frustration of manual coordination and creating a more immersive shared viewing experience. It can be installed via winget for easy setup.
