PlayTogether

October 2016 · Apps & tools

I made a shared YouTube player so people could watch together.

The original interface survives. Rooms and shared playback are disconnected.

I used Socket.IO to share playback actions between YouTube players. You could paste a link, start a room and watch together, with everyone’s player kept in sync.

This is the original prototype. The room server is no longer connected.
