Watch2Gether is praised for enabling synchronized viewing with friends worldwide for free, supporting many websites and screensharing. However, users report that all participants must install the extension, causing usability limits. Synchronization issues, especially due to varying ads, and unintuitive playback controls also affect the experience. Some functionality like auto-advancing episodes is missing, and the age restriction system is inconsistent. Despite these flaws, it remains a valued tool for shared viewing.
Pros
- Allows synchronous watching of videos across multiple websites, making it great for watching with friends and family worldwide.
- Free to use and straightforward to install as a Chrome extension.
- Effective screenshare functionality when properly configured.
- Compatible with many websites, enabling versatile video sharing experiences.
Cons
- Requires all parties to have the extension installed, limiting usability.
- Synchronization issues occur especially due to ads causing desync between viewers.
- Playback controls can be unintuitive; controls are accessed via a green bar or require right-clicking, which can confuse users.
- Inability to automatically advance episodes for all viewers simultaneously.
- The age restriction feature is flawed, only applying effectively on the host's end, not guests.

| 2024-12-05 |  | | en | The app has an age restriction feature that only seems to work on the hosts end and not guests end. The way around is to force the host to create an account and the issues still occurs solely on the hosts end while guests don't face the age restriction. What a dreadful way of increasing users. |

| 2024-10-08 |  | | en | LOL @ the reviews beneath me. Literally allows you to watch the same thing with multiple parties at once; makes it great for world wide watching with friends and family, and it's free. People who complain about something for free are the worst of the worst. I've used W2G for years, nothing comes close to being as useful or easy to use. |
| 2024-09-04 |  | | en | garbage, your site's as busted as your extension is, quit while you're ahead |
| 2024-06-25 |  | | en | I shouldn't need a browser extension for basic functionality that is in the website all along. Additionally, this sort of extension has ZERO reason to require full browser history access or content blocking permission. |
| 2024-06-24 |  | | en | Sadly all parties need the extension nowadays to use watch together? which makes it unuseable |
| 2024-06-22 |  | | en | Great extension |
| 2024-06-15 |  | | en | Screenshare does in fact work, but it has an awkward way of setting up. You first set up a different tab with your streaming service of choice. You then go back to W2G's tab and at the top grid menu click that and select Screenshare. Pick the tab or window you want to share. You would think that would be enough, but no...it then scrolls down a bit (if not scroll the viewing portal down a bit) and then press the play symbol and it will begin playing back up in the viewing portal. You also have to right-click to show the video controls. Keep it on mute cause you you will already get audio from the streaming tab and it will stream to your party guests if you enabled audio when selecting what item to share. Hope this helps. |
