Description
This is a website that syncs all the views youtube videos with each other. The video also saves when all users have left the website. Play, pausing, changing time, and changing videos all are synced. It also has a plus button on the side that reaches out to youtube api to search a video to play. The player itself is the Youtube Iframe player that is controlled by javascript and the server. The server and the client communicate with a websocket connection with the socket.io framework.
I created this website because me and my friend wanted to watch youtube over a call and comment on the youtube video but wanted the video to automatically sync up. It is on it's second version now, the first version had several bugs, as well as didn't save the video when leaving. Now whenever a user joins they automatically start on the right point of the video and can continue watching from there.
Please note that there is only one player, so if you pause the video everyone will be paused. I plan to add the abilities to have rooms in the future, but for now it is a small utility website.
Hope you enjoy using it! Also remember when you leave the player the next person will see the last video you saw.
[Update] Recently Discord released "Activities" which has a youtube activity which basically does what this app did for years. Because of this we have closed down the application and use discord's version instead.
