Host an online watch party

A watch party is a group of people watching the same movie or show at the same moment, each on their own screen. Kinoo gives you a room where play, pause and seek are shared, plus chat so it still feels like watching together.

What is a watch party?

In a watch party everyone shares one timeline. If someone pauses or skips ahead, it happens for everyone. That's the difference from just agreeing to watch the same thing at the same time.

Why host it on Kinoo?

There's nothing to install: you put a YouTube link, a video file or a stream in the room and friends open the room link. Keep the room private for your group, or make it public so others can find it.

Chat, reactions and voice

Text chat and reactions are in every room. Voice chat is included with the paid plans; when the room owner has it, everyone in the room can talk.
