KoalaSync does not provide or stream the video. Everyone opens the same content locally, and KoalaSync coordinates playback controls.
-Open the invite in the same desktop browser profile where KoalaSync is installed. The join page passes the room settings to the extension. You can also use Manual Connect / Advanced to enter a room ID and optional password, or select a public room, but manual and legacy joins do not provide the current chat secret.
Room credentials remain available locally until you leave or replace the room. Click Leave Room when you are finished.
-Hide Clutter Tabs removes likely non-video tabs from the list. Turn it off under Settings → Playback & Sync if the correct tab is missing.
-When room control is open to everyone, actions on the selected player and the popup's Play and Pause buttons are sent to the room. The Last Activity Status shows the most recent room action.
Force Sync cannot fix different videos, missing website access, an unloaded player, or a site that blocks the required playback action. Check that everyone selected the intended content first.
