Watch Together for Plex

Plex dropped Watch Together in 2025. This brings it back for Plex Web.

A browser extension that adds a Watch Together panel to Plex Web, plus a small relay server that keeps everyone's playback in step.

  • Rooms with a short code. Start a room, send the code, and friends join from their own Plex Web.
  • Synced play, pause and seek. Anyone can control playback, or the host can lock it to host only.
  • Tight sync. Small drift is fixed by nudging playback speed by up to 10%, which you won't notice. Big drift is fixed with a seek.
  • Waits for slow connections. If someone is buffering, everyone pauses on the same frame and resumes together.
  • Chat, and it keeps working in fullscreen.

Each viewer streams from their own Plex server exactly as they normally would. Video never touches the relay; it only keeps a shared playhead for the room.
