Three-Sentence Overview -> KoalaSync is a lightweight browser extension that keeps you and your friends perfectly in sync on YouTube, Netflix, Twitch, Prime Video, Jellyfin, Emby, and almost any other site with an HTML5 video player — press play once and everyone stays together. It's built privacy-first: no accounts, no telemetry, and the official relay server runs entirely in volatile RAM with zero persistence, so nothing about your sessions is ever stored. Open source under the MIT license and fully self-hostable with a small Docker Compose setup and a unique server salt, KoalaSync is a transparent watch-party tool that works everywhere and respects your data sovereignty. +> KoalaSync is a lightweight browser extension that keeps you and your friends perfectly in sync on YouTube, Netflix, Twitch, Prime Video, Jellyfin, Emby, and almost any other site with an HTML5 video player — press play once and everyone stays together.

There is no permanent background connection — the relay connection is maintained only while you're in a room and closes when you leave or automatically after two hours without a selected-video heartbeat. • No Media Streaming: KoalaSync does not stream, proxy, upload, download, or redistribute any video content. Everyone watches from their own browser on the original website. • Temporary Room State Only: The relay server only coordinates room state such as play, pause, seek position, active target, nickname, and readiness status. • Docker Self-Hosting: The relay server can be self-hosted with Docker if you prefer to run your own private instance.
