Grounded in available product and source data
I made a Chrome extension called Watchbear that lets you watch any video in sync with friends, and I finally got around to making a short video showing how it works. The idea is simple. You open a video, start a room, and share the code. Everyone who joins stays on the same frame. Play, pause, and seeking stay in sync for the whole room. There's also a side panel for chat and quick reactions, and it shows the current second of whatever is playing in the active tab. I built it mostly because the other watch-together options I tried kept desyncing, or wanted me to sign up for stuff. I just wanted something that works on a normal video and stays out of the way. It's still early (version 0.2.3), so I'd genuinely like feedback. If something feels clunky or breaks on a site you use, tell me and I'll fix it.
