While the party runs, the widget shows who is there and the code. Play, pause, a jump to a new time and the speed stay in step for everyone, up to 20 people.

There is no chat. Use whatever you already talk in.

What a party sends and keeps​

The live sync runs through Supabase Realtime and only the party's members receive it. The play, pause, jump and speed messages are not stored.

The party itself keeps the video's address and title and the party code. It also keeps who joined and when. The privacy page has the details.
