Extension summary

GroupTube allows you to watch YouTube videos together with a group of people. While watching, the video will be completely in sync between all people watching. One person controls the video and can play, pause and skip to a certain timestamp. The video will then update for everyone else watching. Works best with ad blocker.

For our awesome icons, we used Fontawesome icons. We did not change any of their icons, we simply downloaded them and included them in our Extension. Link to their license: https://fontawesome.com/license

Is there a person limit. I'm doing a watch party and have maybe over 100 people looking to join?

find the extension good! but can you add a button where you can select whether all have an access (access: play/stop,...) or whether only I should have an access.
