Encore

Watch YouTube together: shared videos, Shorts, Mixes and playlists, with a synced queue and chat.

Meet your friends directly on YouTube. Encore connects a YouTube tab to a shared room, so you can watch, build a queue and chat together. Create your free personal room without signing in, then press Invite to copy its link. Friends who have Encore just open the link: the first time they pick a nickname, and after that they join automatically and the host's video opens for them. Friends who don't have Encore yet see a simple install page and land in the same room right after installing. A status line in the panel always shows where you are: connecting, opening the video, or in sync. Everyone watches with their own YouTube account. Share videos, playlists and YouTube Mixes from your connected tab or a link. Use Interlude to play a discovery for everyone, then return to the previous video and position. Watch Shorts together: one person guides the feed and can hand over to someone else. Your queue is kept for when you return. Choose themes, icons and frames to make the room yours. The owner can choose who controls playback, close invitations and remove participants. Guests can add videos and chat. The panel is available in English and French. You can browse YouTube freely and resume sync when ready. Playback depends on each person's connection, buffering and YouTube ads, so timing can vary slightly. Sync, Shorts, chat and moderation are free. More appearances are coming soon. Encore processes shared video details, playback state, nicknames and chat to run the room. Optional Google sign-in keeps your room across devices and is described in the privacy policy. You can download or delete your data in Account and data.
