How to Sync YouTube With Friends
Short Answer
Sync YouTube with friends by pinning an AniDachi watchroom to the same full watch page — everyone streams locally while playback stays aligned. Skip Discord screen share for the video path; keep it for voice. Start at /pricing.

Sync Methods Compared
- AniDachi: Live sync + async catch-up on YouTube (and Crunchyroll).
- Teleparty: Live-only YouTube sync — see Does Teleparty work with YouTube?.
- Discord Go Live: Works but compresses video — see screen share YouTube on Discord.
Step-by-Step Sync Setup
- Install AniDachi: Add the Chrome extension on every device that will join the sync session.
- Open the same YouTube video: Each person opens the full youtube.com/watch URL — not Shorts or embeds.
- Create or join the watchroom: Host creates the room; friends join via invite so timestamps stay aligned.
- Start playback together: Host plays; AniDachi syncs. Use Catch up if someone drifts a few seconds.
- Keep voice separate: Use Discord or another call for talking — mute conflicting tabs as needed.
