  "FAQ_Q_VIDEO_ACCESS": "Does KoalaSync stream the video to my friends?",
  "FAQ_A_VIDEO_ACCESS": "No. KoalaSync does not stream, host, share, or bypass access to video content. Everyone watches the video locally in their own browser and needs their own access to the website or streaming service, such as their own Netflix account. KoalaSync only synchronizes playback actions like play, pause, and seeking.",
  "FAQ_Q2": "Is KoalaSync a free alternative to Teleparty?",
  "FAQ_A2": "100% free and open source under the MIT License. No premium tiers, no locked features, no ads, everything is included. Unlike Teleparty, KoalaSync's relay server is RAM-only with zero data collection or user accounts required.",
  "FAQ_Q3": "Does KoalaSync work with Emby, Jellyfin and self-hosted media servers?",
  "FAQ_A3": "Yes. KoalaSync detects any standard HTML5 video element, which means it works perfectly with Emby, Jellyfin, Plex, and any custom self-hosted streaming setup. You can also self-host the KoalaSync relay server via Docker for complete data sovereignty.",
  "FAQ_Q4": "Which browsers and platforms support KoalaSync?",
  "FAQ_A4": "Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Opera, Brave, and all Chromium-based browsers. Install it directly from the Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons, no manual configuration needed.",
  "FAQ_Q5": "Do all my friends need the extension installed?",
  "FAQ_A5": "Yes, each participant needs KoalaSync installed, but there's no sign-up or account creation. Simply click the invitation link, install the extension if you haven't already, and you'll join the room automatically in seconds.",
  "FAQ_Q6": "Is my data safe? What if I don't trust the official server?",
  "FAQ_A6": "Completely safe. KoalaSync's relay server is RAM-only, all session data is permanently deleted the moment you leave the room. No database, no logging, no analytics, no accounts. And if you prefer full control: you can self-host your own private relay server via Docker in minutes. The entire codebase is open source and auditable on GitHub.",
  "FAQ_Q7": "Can I fix quiet dialogue and loud explosions when watching videos in the browser?",
  "FAQ_A7": "Yes. KoalaSync 2.2.0 includes a built-in audio compressor that reduces the gap between quiet and loud parts of your video. It runs locally via the Web Audio API, no audio data ever leaves your computer. Open the popup, create a room, go to Settings → Audio Processing, toggle the compressor on, and pick a preset. Works on Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, YouTube, and any HTML5 video site.",

  "ALT_TELEPARTY_META_DESC": "A practical comparison of KoalaSync and Teleparty for watch parties, built-in chat, mobile support, browser video sync, self-hosted media servers and open-source use.",
  "ALT_TELEPARTY_INTRO": "KoalaSync and Teleparty both help with the same annoying problem: watching something together without doing the whole \"3, 2, 1, play\" routine. They just take a different approach.<br><br>Teleparty makes the most sense if you want a built-in chat or if you want to watch on mobile. KoalaSync is more for desktop browser watch parties where you are already talking on Discord, Teamspeak or another voice call and just want playback to stay in sync.<br><br>The main reason I built KoalaSync was flexibility. It is meant to work with almost any website that uses a normal browser video player, not just a fixed list of platforms. That includes self-hosted setups like Emby, Jellyfin and Plex, local/private domains, and a lot of normal video pages in the browser.",
  "ALT_TELEPARTY_WHEN_TELE_TITLE": "When Teleparty may still make sense",
  "ALT_TELEPARTY_WHEN_TELE_BODY": "Teleparty can still be the better choice if you want the chat to be part of the watch party tool itself. KoalaSync does not currently have a built-in chat. It assumes you are already talking somewhere else, like Discord, Teamspeak, WhatsApp, Signal or a normal call.<br><br>Mobile is the other big reason. Teleparty has an app, while KoalaSync currently only works on desktop browsers. If you want to sync Netflix on a phone or tablet, KoalaSync is not the right tool for that right now.<br><br>So if chat and mobile support are the things you care about most, Teleparty may simply fit your setup better.",
  "ALT_TELEPARTY_WHEN_KOALA_TITLE": "When KoalaSync may fit better",
  "ALT_TELEPARTY_WHEN_KOALA_BODY": "KoalaSync fits better if you want a flexible desktop browser sync tool instead of something tied to a short platform list.<br><br>It works with almost any website that uses a normal browser video player. That is especially useful for Emby, Jellyfin, Plex, private media servers, local domains, or smaller video sites that classic watch party tools usually ignore.<br><br>It is also free, open source, does not require accounts, and can be self-hosted if you want to run your own relay. I built it because I wanted something privacy-friendly that worked with my own Emby setup, not another closed platform just for a few big streaming sites.",
  "ALT_TELEPARTY_MAIN_DIFF_TITLE": "The main difference",
  "ALT_TELEPARTY_MAIN_DIFF_BODY": "Teleparty is more of a watch party product with chat and mobile support. KoalaSync is more of a flexible sync layer for browser video.<br><br>That sounds like a small difference, but it changes the use case a lot. If you need a full watch party app with chat inside it, Teleparty makes sense. If you already have voice chat and just want the video controls to stay synced across browsers, KoalaSync is the simpler fit.",
  "ALT_TELEPARTY_LIMITS_TITLE": "Honest limitations",
  "ALT_TELEPARTY_LIMITS_BODY": "KoalaSync is not magic and it is not trying to hide its limits. It currently works only on desktop browsers. It has no built-in chat and no mobile app.<br><br>Compatibility also depends on the browser and the video player. KoalaSync should work with almost any normal browser video player, but websites can change their players, DRM behavior or browser restrictions at any time.<br><br>KoalaSync is not affiliated with Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, YouTube, Teleparty, Emby, Jellyfin, Plex or any other brand mentioned here. The names are only used to explain typical use cases.",
  "ALT_TELEPARTY_SUMMARY_TITLE": "Summary",
  "ALT_TELEPARTY_SUMMARY_BODY": "If you want built-in chat or mobile support, Teleparty may be the better fit. If you want free, open-source desktop browser sync that works with almost any normal video player, including self-hosted media servers like Emby, Jellyfin and Plex, KoalaSync is probably the better match.",
  "ALT_SCREEN_TITLE": "KoalaSync vs screen sharing: when is video sync better?",
  "ALT_SCREEN_META_DESC": "A practical comparison of KoalaSync and screen sharing for remote movie nights, playback control, video quality, privacy, subtitles and browser-based watching.",
  "ALT_SCREEN_INTRO": "Screen sharing works, and sometimes it is honestly enough. One person shares their screen, everyone else watches, and you are done.<br><br>But for longer movie nights or watching episodes together, it can get annoying. The video quality depends on the sharer’s upload, CPU, browser, and whatever compression Discord, Teamspeak, Zoom or another call app applies. Also, only one person really controls the playback.",
  "ALT_SCREEN_WHEN_ENOUGH_TITLE": "When screen sharing is enough",
  "ALT_SCREEN_WHEN_ENOUGH_BODY": "Screen sharing is fine when you want the fastest possible setup. If only one person has access to the video, or everyone is okay with one person controlling play, pause and seeking, it may be the simplest option.<br><br>It also makes sense when quality is not a big deal, when nobody needs their own subtitles or audio settings, and when the person sharing is comfortable showing that browser window or screen.",
  "ALT_SCREEN_WHEN_ANNOYING_TITLE": "Where screen sharing gets annoying",
  "ALT_SCREEN_WHEN_ANNOYING_BODY": "The biggest downside is that not everyone is watching in their own player. One person streams their screen, and everyone else only sees that stream.<br><br>That can mean worse video quality, compressed audio, delayed playback, and less control for everyone else. Subtitles and audio tracks are also whatever the sharer picked.<br><br>There is also the privacy side. If you switch windows or tabs, people may briefly see your browser tabs, email, Reddit, chats or other private stuff. You can work around that with a separate window, but it is still something you have to think about.",
  "ALT_SCREEN_WHY_CLEANER_TITLE": "Why KoalaSync can feel cleaner",
  "ALT_SCREEN_WHY_CLEANER_BODY": "KoalaSync does not stream your screen. Everyone watches the video locally in their own browser, and KoalaSync only keeps playback actions like play, pause and seeking in sync.<br><br>That means everyone can use fullscreen on their own device, use their own subtitle or audio settings if the player supports it, and keep the voice chat separate in Discord, Teamspeak or another call.<br><br>For movie nights, that can feel a lot cleaner than one person broadcasting their screen. It is especially useful for browser-based setups like Emby, Jellyfin, Plex, local files opened in the browser, private domains, or other websites with normal browser video players.",
  "ALT_SCREEN_LIMITS_TITLE": "Honest limitations",
  "ALT_SCREEN_LIMITS_BODY": "KoalaSync is not a replacement for a voice call. If you want to talk while watching, you still use Discord, Teamspeak, Signal, WhatsApp or whatever you normally use.<br><br>Everyone also needs access to the video or page on their own device. KoalaSync does not bypass subscriptions, logins, DRM, regional restrictions or platform rules.<br><br>It is currently desktop-browser only, has no built-in chat or voice feature, and compatibility always depends on the browser and the video player.",
  "ALT_SCREEN_SUMMARY_TITLE": "Summary",
  "ALT_SCREEN_SUMMARY_BODY": "Screen sharing is the simplest option when you just want something quick and do not care much about quality, privacy or individual control. KoalaSync is a better fit when everyone should watch locally in their own browser and the session should feel more like actually watching together.",

  "ALT_W2G_INTRO": "KoalaSync and Watch2Gether both solve the same problem: watching videos in sync with friends online without manually coordinating. While Watch2Gether is one of the oldest and most popular hubs for shared movie nights, KoalaSync takes a completely different, lightweight approach. Which tool is right for you depends heavily on what and where you want to watch.",
  "ALT_W2G_WHEN_W2G_TITLE": "When Watch2Gether is the better choice",

  "ALT_W2G_WHEN_KOALA_BODY": "KoalaSync shines on <strong>real streaming services</strong> (Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+) and self-hosted media servers (Jellyfin, Plex, Emby). Unlike Watch2Gether, which often cannot play premium content at all, KoalaSync syncs the native player directly on the website.<br><br>It works on almost any site with a standard HTML5 video player. You don't need to set up a virtual room on a third-party site: just activate the extension, join a lobby, and start watching.",
  "ALT_W2G_MAIN_DIFF_TITLE": "The main difference",

KoalaSync is a <strong>minimalist browser extension</strong> that hooks directly into your normal browser tabs.<br><br>Looking for an all-in-one package for YouTube with built-in chat?

  "ALT_W2G_SUMMARY_TITLE": "In short",
  "ALT_W2G_SUMMARY_BODY": "For spontaneous YouTube sessions with playlists and built-in chat, Watch2Gether is the best choice.

  "ALT_SCENER_INTRO": "KoalaSync and Scener approach watch parties from two completely different angles. Scener is a virtual movie theater with built-in video chat and interactive rooms. KoalaSync, on the other hand, is a minimalist, privacy-friendly browser extension that simply synchronizes playback controls. Which tool fits you best depends mostly on how important built-in webcam and chat features are to you.",
  "ALT_SCENER_WHEN_SCENER_TITLE": "When Scener is the better choice",
  "ALT_SCENER_WHEN_SCENER_BODY": "Scener is a solid choice if you want an <strong>all-in-one social platform</strong> with built-in video and audio chat directly in your browser. Scener creates a virtual room where the player and your friends' webcams are displayed side-by-side. This is ideal for large, public watch parties or virtual streaming events where the social aspect is front and center. However, keep in mind that the free basic version is ad-supported, and Scener locks many features (such as ad-free viewing and unlimited video chat) behind a monthly subscription ($5.79/month or $39.99/year).",

Just activate the extension, share a room code, and start watching.<br>• <strong>True native quality (4K/HDR)</strong>: Scener streams compressed video from a virtual cloud server, which can lead to quality loss and lagging. KoalaSync synchronizes the native player directly on your computer, meaning you watch movies in the full resolution of your streaming subscription.<br>• <strong>Low bandwidth usage</strong>: Because only control data (play, pause, timestamps) is transmitted, KoalaSync uses virtually no extra bandwidth. Scener streams the entire video and camera feeds over cloud servers, which can heavily strain slower internet connections and older laptops.<br>• <strong>100% free and ad-free</strong>: No monthly subscription fees, no advertisements, and no trackers.<br>• <strong>Local video files</strong>: Since KoalaSync runs locally, you can even watch your own video files (like MP4) in sync with friends. Just drag and drop the file into a browser tab – Scener cannot do this because its player runs in the cloud.",
  "ALT_SCENER_MAIN_DIFF_TITLE": "The main difference",
  "ALT_SCENER_MAIN_DIFF_BODY": "Scener is a <strong>commercial social network</strong> for watch parties that is powered by virtual cloud browsers and funded through ads and monthly subscriptions. KoalaSync is a <strong>privacy-first, free synchronization utility</strong> that hooks directly into your browser tabs. It leaves voice/video chat to applications like Discord or Teamspeak, focusing entirely on keeping your playback fluid, private, and in its native original quality.",
  "ALT_SCENER_LIMITS_TITLE": "Honest limitations",
  "ALT_SCENER_LIMITS_BODY": "KoalaSync offers <strong>no built-in chat or webcam support</strong>. It is purely a synchronization tool and requires a separate voice call tool of your choice. Additionally, KoalaSync is currently desktop-only, and local video file compatibility depends entirely on whether your browser natively supports playing the video format and audio codecs.",
  "ALT_SCENER_SUMMARY_TITLE": "In short",
  "ALT_SCENER_SUMMARY_BODY": "For large watch parties with built-in webcam chat and social features, Scener is the right choice, provided you don't mind ads and premium paywalls. If you want a completely free, ad-free, and distraction-free experience in the native player (including Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, or local browser files) and you are already in a voice call, KoalaSync is the cleaner and more performant solution.",

  "ALT_KOSMI_META_DESC": "An honest comparison of KoalaSync and Kosmi. Discover why Kosmi's no-extension setup is convenient and when KoalaSync's native video quality wins.",
  "ALT_KOSMI_INTRO": "Both KoalaSync and Kosmi offer great ways to watch Netflix, YouTube, and other platforms in sync with friends. However, their underlying technologies are fundamentally different. Kosmi uses virtual cloud browsers that run directly in your web browser without installing extensions. KoalaSync is a lightweight extension that synchronizes your local video player. Which approach fits you best depends on your priorities regarding video quality, convenience, and privacy.",
  "ALT_KOSMI_WHEN_KOSMI_TITLE": "When Kosmi is the better choice",
  "ALT_KOSMI_WHEN_KOSMI_BODY": "Kosmi is unbeatable if you want to <strong>avoid installing anything</strong> or want to watch on devices like tablets and smartphones. Because Kosmi runs virtual browsers in the cloud, all it takes to join is a simple web link. Furthermore, Kosmi is an all-in-one hangout platform: in addition to synchronized streaming, you can play multiplayer games (like retro NES/SNES classics or poker) and use the built-in webcam, voice, and text chat. If you want a social game night and watch party without setup, Kosmi is a fantastic solution.",
  "ALT_KOSMI_WHEN_KOALA_TITLE": "When KoalaSync fits better",
  "ALT_KOSMI_WHEN_KOALA_BODY": "KoalaSync shines when it comes to <strong>native playback quality, security, and performance</strong>:<br><br>• <strong>No security risks</strong>: With Kosmi, you have to log into your Netflix or Prime account on a remote virtual computer in the cloud. With KoalaSync, you log in securely on the official streaming website in your own browser, just like you normally do. Your passwords never leave your machine.<br>• <strong>Full video quality (4K/HDR)</strong>: Kosmi streams the virtual browser's screen as a compressed video feed, which can result in pixelation and buffering. KoalaSync syncs the native players locally: you enjoy movies in the full, crystal-clear resolution of your subscription.<br>• <strong>Lag-free & bandwidth-friendly</strong>: Since KoalaSync only sends control commands (play/pause/timestamps), it uses almost zero bandwidth. Kosmi constantly streams HD video feeds, which can overwhelm slower connections.<br>• <strong>Local video files</strong>: If you want to watch a private video, just drag and drop the MP4 file into a browser tab and sync it. Kosmi cannot access files on your local hard drive.",
  "ALT_KOSMI_MAIN_DIFF_TITLE": "The main difference",
  "ALT_KOSMI_MAIN_DIFF_BODY": "Kosmi is a <strong>virtual cloud hangout</strong> that streams a remote browser's screen so no one has to install an extension. KoalaSync is a <strong>local browser sync layer</strong> that hooks directly into the native player on the official streaming website. While Kosmi is more versatile for mini-games and device compatibility, KoalaSync offers a more secure, fluid, and sharp streaming experience in the original player.",
  "ALT_KOSMI_LIMITS_TITLE": "Honest limitations",
  "ALT_KOSMI_LIMITS_BODY": "KoalaSync <strong>requires installing a browser extension</strong> and currently only runs on desktop PCs. It <strong>has no built-in chat or webcams</strong>, as it is designed under the assumption that you are already talking via Discord or other voice tools anyway. It also does not offer built-in games.",
  "ALT_KOSMI_SUMMARY_TITLE": "In short",
  "ALT_KOSMI_SUMMARY_BODY": "For casual game nights with retro classics and easy access on mobile devices without any installation, Kosmi is ideal. For premium movie nights on Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, or Plex in full 4K quality, with maximum security and minimal bandwidth impact, KoalaSync is the clear winner.",

  "ALT_TWOSEVEN_INTRO": "Both KoalaSync and TwoSeven use the same basic approach for watch parties: they synchronize the original video player directly in your browser, rather than streaming a compressed video feed from the cloud. This ensures top-tier video quality for both tools. However, while TwoSeven is a commercial portal with built-in webcam chat and subscription tiers, KoalaSync remains a minimalist, completely free, and privacy-friendly extension.

If you want to see your friends while watching without having to run Discord or Teamspeak in the background, TwoSeven offers this integration natively. Additionally, it works for YouTube and a few open web video players without extensions. It is well-suited for small groups of 2 to 3 people who want to share a visual connection while viewing.",

KoalaSync synchronizes Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, and self-hosted media servers (Jellyfin, Plex, Emby) 100% free with zero restrictions.<br>• <strong>Absolute privacy (No trackers/ads)</strong>: TwoSeven is ad-supported and uses multiple trackers from Google, Facebook, and others. KoalaSync has no ads, no trackers, and communicates exclusively with the RAM-only relay server.<br>• <strong>No registration required</strong>: TwoSeven requires all participants to create an account and log in. KoalaSync is completely account-free. Just install, enter a room code, and start watching.<br>• <strong>Lightweight and resource-friendly</strong>: TwoSeven's integrated webcam and audio feeds place a heavy load on your CPU and network.
