KoalaSync: The Privacy-First Watch Party Extension
|
|
|
|
Private watch parties for Emby, Jellyfin, Plex, Netflix, YouTube & more. No account needed. Real-time sync. Supports 13 languages. 100% free.
|
|
|
|
Whether you're binge-watching Netflix, streaming from your own self-hosted Emby, Jellyfin, or Plex servers, or watching on virtually any other website with a video player — KoalaSync keeps everyone perfectly in sync.
|
|
Lightweight, open-source, and built for absolute data sovereignty with a clean, minimalist UI.
|
|
|
|
✨ CORE FEATURES
|
|
• No Account Needed: Just create a room and share the link. No emails, no passwords, no hassle. A random nickname is assigned automatically, or pick your own.
|
|
• Universal HTML5 Sync: Flawlessly synchronizes play, pause, and seeking on Netflix, Jellyfin, Emby, YouTube, and almost any website hosting a standard HTML5 <video> tag.
|
|
• Smart Binge-Watching (Auto-Sync): When a new episode loads, KoalaSync automatically pauses playback in a smart lobby until everyone's video is ready. No spoilers, no one left behind.
|
|
• Fully Localized: Enjoy a native experience with a user interface fully translated into 13 different languages.
|
|
• One-Click Invitations: Generate a smart invite link. Once clicked, the extension instantly configures room credentials and server settings for your guests.
|
|
• Zero-Latency Protocol: Powered by a custom WebSocket architecture designed for real-time coordination without buffering loops.
|
|
|
|
🛡️ UNCOMPROMISING PRIVACY & SECURITY
|
|
No data collection. No compromises.
|
|
• 100% Anonymous: Zero tracking, zero analytics, zero telemetry.
|
|
• Ready Out-Of-The-Box: No technical knowledge needed. Install and start watching immediately using the official public server.
|
|
• RAM-Only Public Server: The official relay server operates entirely in volatile RAM. No databases, no logs, no watch history — nothing persists. It also features built-in rate-limiting and brute-force protection to prevent room-id spamming.
|
|
• Self-Hostable: Take total control by deploying a private relay server in seconds via Docker. Optional, never required.
|
|
