About this extension

byob (Bring Your Own Binge) is a free, open-source Watch2Gether alternative. Create a room, share the link, and watch together.

What the extension does:

Syncs non-YouTube/Vimeo streaming sites (Crunchyroll, anime sites, etc.) by hooking into <video> elements
Shows a sync bar with play/pause controls, progress bar, time counter, and ready count on external player pages
Displays a "Play the video to start syncing" toast to guide users through the autoplay gesture
Shows SponsorBlock segment colors on YouTube's embedded seek bar
Scrapes page metadata (title, thumbnail) from external sites for display in the room

What byob.video supports (with or without the extension):

Synchronized YouTube playback — play, pause, seek in real-time
Vimeo — native embedded player with full sync support
Direct video file URLs (.mp4, .webm, .ogg, .mov, .mkv) with a built-in synced HTML5 player
Video queue with drag-to-reorder and auto-advance
SponsorBlock integration with per-room category settings (auto-skip or show in bar)
Room history and persistence across server restarts
Dark/light theme
Random usernames, renamable, visible in user list

How it works:

Create a room at byob.video
Share the room link with friends
Paste video URLs and watch together
For non-YouTube sites, click "Open Player Window" and the extension syncs playback automatically
