Oftentimes, the button "Start Party" doesn't even do anything. Overall buggy but works okay when it does.

Lags continuously, I would've loved to use it but nothing is watchable with this extension... the person starting the party has no problems but the person joining just sees a laggy mess.

Really useful and you can use it at a lot of websites at a time and supports the major streaming websites! Pretty nice extension, great job! // I had some problems muting the notification sound which is really loud but outside of that it works perfectly.
