5-step guide

How It Works

Learn how to create perfect synchronized viewing experiences in just a few simple steps.

1

Set Your Reaction Video

Start by adding your reaction video. You can use a direct URL (like YouTube) or upload a local file.

  • Click on the Reaction Video section
  • Choose 'Direct URL' for YouTube links or 'Local File' to upload
  • The video will load automatically once added
2

Connect Streaming Service

Set up your content video with a supported streaming service: Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, Crunchyroll, or Prime Video. (The Chrome extension is required so the app can talk to the player.)

  • Go to the Content Video section and choose Streaming Service
  • Pick your service in the dropdown
  • Click Open to launch the streaming window or tab
  • The app connects through the extension and syncs playback with your reaction
3

Set Sync Points

Use Enhanced Sync Points to line up your reaction with the show. You can add a quick point from playback or enter times precisely.

  • In Enhanced Sync Points, use Create Precise Sync Point and fill Reaction Time, Show Time, and Description, then Add Precise
  • Or use Add Sync Point in Master Controls to capture the current playback times in one click
  • Optionally pick a color so points are easy to spot on the timeline
4

Use Master Controls

Once both videos are loaded, Master Controls drive playback. The sync lock (padlock) ties both videos together or lets you adjust them separately.

  • Master Controls show when your setup is ready to play
  • Use play/pause and the timeline to move both videos together when sync lock is on
  • Use skip and rewind / fast-forward for larger jumps
  • Click markers on the timeline to jump to sync points
  • With two local files, use the Layout control in the header for side-by-side, stacked, or picture-in-picture
5

Enjoy Synchronized Viewing

Everything is now set up! Your reaction video and streaming content will play in perfect sync, creating an immersive viewing experience.

  • Both videos play simultaneously and stay in sync
  • You can adjust sync points anytime if needed
  • The timeline shows the duration of the streaming content
  • All controls work seamlessly across both videos
