This is literally no different than js going on a call and watching netflix or any other website at the same time on different devices, theyre also too many ads so I cant even watch in peace. I would rate this 0 out of 5 if I could.

Great idea, but terrible execution. The video is not in sync with the party and lots of issues with the service flaking out in the middle. Have to continuously restart chrome.

it's a brilliant idea in the beginning but while using it, there come a lot of problems that need to be fixed, like the constant sync sign and the "waiting for host" even when there is a host active.
