Watch together. Instantly. Anywhere.
Live App: https://watch-along.vercel.app/
Watch Along is a web-based platform that lets you watch YouTube videos or playlists together with friends in perfect sync — without installing anything.
Paste a link, share a code, and start watching the same moment.
No downloads.
No setup friction.
