Use LofiCouch to search YouTube, build a shared queue, invite friends, and keep playback close while chat, reactions, and voice stay beside the video.
YouTube is the fastest way to start a LofiCouch room. Search from inside the room or paste a video link, then let everyone follow the shared room state.
Search YouTube without leaving the room.
Queue videos for movie nights, anime clips, reactions, lessons, or playlists.
Use room chat, reactions, voice, and invite codes around the player.
Keep guests close to the host playback state while still respecting browser autoplay and video availability rules.
Use this flow when planning a YouTube watch party with friends.
Start from the homepage, create a guest room, or sign in and use a saved room for repeat watch sessions.
Use the room search flow or paste a link so the chosen video becomes part of the shared watch context.
Send the code or room link privately, then keep the conversation inside the room instead of split across apps.
The room follows the host playback state while still respecting YouTube availability, browser autoplay, and network behavior.
YouTube is flexible enough for casual watch-together sessions, but the best experience comes from choosing videos that are public, embeddable, and available to everyone in the room.
Build a queue for music videos, trailers, reaction clips, lectures, or a sequence of shorter videos so the room does not stall between picks.
Use voice, chat, and reactions for lightweight hangouts where the conversation matters as much as the video.
Keep another public video ready in case the first upload is private, region-limited, age-restricted, or blocked from embedding.
LofiCouch organizes the room around YouTube playback, but YouTube still controls video availability, embedding, age gates, live behavior, and regional access.
Yes. Create a room, search YouTube or paste a YouTube link, invite friends, and the room keeps everyone close to the host playback state.
Some videos are private, region-blocked, age-restricted, live-only, or not embeddable. LofiCouch cannot override YouTube's own playback rules.
Use Drive when the group is watching a private file instead of a public YouTube video.
