Features
Everything an online watch party needs
Built for real movie nights, not a demo. Every feature is designed around watching together.
Files, YouTube, or screen share
Drop a video file, paste a YouTube link, or share your screen. No upload, no waiting. Guests see it the moment you press play.
Real-time sync
Play, pause, and seek are shared instantly across the room. Everyone watches the same moment. Sync precision stays under half a second.
Live chat and reactions
React with emoji on messages. Chat runs alongside the video in a dedicated panel, never covering the screen.
Private rooms
Rooms are identified by an 8-character code that only you share. No public listings, no discovery. Only people you invite can join.
Up to 1080p, quality you control
Streams up to 1080p HD. Each guest picks Auto, High, Medium, or Low quality to match their connection. The host sends only what each guest asks for.
Voice chat
Talk while you watch. One click turns on your mic and everyone in the room can hear each other. Mute when you need to, no second app required.
Use cases
Who watches together
PartyStream works for anyone who wants to share a video and watch it at the same time, not just send a file.
Long-distance movie nights
Watch a film with family across the country. Everyone laughs at the same moment, no more texting "wait, where are you?"
Study groups and lecture recordings
Share a recorded lecture with your study group. Pause to discuss, rewind to rewatch, and chat notes in real time.
Gaming clans reviewing VODs
Review match footage together. One player hosts, everyone watches the same replay, and the group talks strategy over voice or chat.
