Inside a Room01 02 03 04 05
One room. Any screen. Watch together.
Sign in, create a room, and share the code or link. Your friends join instantly, no downloads needed. Pick a YouTube video or drop a Google Drive link, queue up what's next, and watch in perfect sync from any phone or laptop.
Play YouTube or Google Drive
Search YouTube inside the room or paste a Google Drive link. Add to the queue and keep the night going.
Synced for everyone
The host controls playback. Everyone follows, whether they're on a phone or a laptop.
Talk while you watch
Voice chat and text chat are built right into the room. React out loud or drop a message without ever leaving the video.
History and queue
A shared queue keeps what's next ready, and your room history means you never lose track of what you watched.
Streaming Together01 02 03 04 05
Start from the host's streaming tab. Stay together in the room.
For Netflix, JioHotstar, and Crunchyroll, the video plays on the streaming service website, not inside LofiCouch. The host opens a title on desktop, and the LofiCouch extension detects it and starts the room stream. Guests open the same service in their own desktop browser, while LofiCouch keeps sync, chat, voice, reactions, and history together.
Host opens the title
The host starts Netflix, JioHotstar, or Crunchyroll in a desktop browser with the LofiCouch extension installed.
LofiCouch detects it
The extension recognizes the streaming title and connects that tab back to the private room automatically.
Guests open the service
Friends join the room, then open the same streaming service website in their own desktop browser.
Everyone uses their own account
LofiCouch does not restream the video. Each viewer watches through their own provider account.
The room stays together
Host-led sync, voice, chat, reactions, members, and history stay in LofiCouch around the streaming session.

Everyone stays on the same frame.
Host playback once and the room follows together across YouTube, Drive, Netflix, JioHotstar, and Crunchyroll.
Voice Rooms
Talk like you share the same couch.
Built-in voice keeps reactions, jokes, and quiet comments inside the same room as the movie.
