Watch together (watch parties)

Watching apart? Start a watch party: everyone who joins sees the same moment. When anyone pauses, plays or skips, it happens for everyone.
Watch together — Start a watch party from a film, share the 6-letter code, and join from another device — everyone stays in step. Film footage: Sintel © Blender Foundation (CC BY 3.0).

Start a watch party

  1. 1Open a film or episode. Web app: choose Watch together on the film's page, or in the player ⚙ → Watch together. Phones, tablets and computers: long-press the title → Watch together. Apple TV: press and hold the title → Watch together.
  2. 2The player shows a 6-letter code — share it (the web app has a Copy code button).
  3. 3Press play when everyone's in. The bar shows how many are watching.

Join a watch party

  1. 1Web app: Home → Join a watch party. Phones, tablets and computers: the account menu (top right) → Join a watch party. Apple TV: Settings → Join a watch party.
  2. 2Type the code. The title opens at the same moment the others are at.

Good to know

  • Everyone needs access to the title on your server — people you've added, or friends who sign in with their Silux Media account.
  • Parental Control and content limits still apply: a protected title won't open for someone who isn't allowed to see it.
  • When the person who started the party leaves, it ends for everyone.

Questions

Does it work away from home?

Yes — it works wherever the apps can reach your server, including through the encrypted relay.

Does everyone get the same quality?

Each device still picks the best quality its own connection can carry; only the position, play and pause are shared.
