Change Log: Sync Watch 1.1.6 - Added Peacock support. - Improved Prime Video synchronization by selecting the episode player instead of page previews. - Initial synchronization follows the host. The host can allow guests to play, pause and seek after that initial sync. - Preserved host ownership during brief reconnects and prevented duplicate joins from changing the host. - Fixed fullscreen chat visibility and unread-message indicators. Use Ctrl+Shift+H to open or close chat, including native video fullscreen. - Improved chat privacy by moving it into a private extension frame. - Chromium browsers now accept Firefox room codes. After updating, refresh your streaming tabs and rejoin the room. v1.1.3 • Party members can control playback and navigation by default. • Added optional host-only controls for locked sessions. • Fixed new participants overwriting current party URL. • Improved synchronization through YouTube ads and player replacement. • Added automatic playback retry after ads or temporary media failures. • Added clear prompt when browser autoplay policy requires interaction. • Fixed delayed seek echoes and play/pause synchronization races. • Improved Firefox video detection and Chrome/Firefox parity. v1.1.2 • Fixed an issue where YouTube page changes from the host could be missed while Sync Watch reconnected to a room. The latest host navigation now waits until the room connection is restored, then syncs automatically. • Also improved handling of failed joins, retries, sends, and disconnects. No new permissions.
