Field notes
The desktop app uses a host-created private room and synchronizes playback of local MKV, MP4, and 4K HDR files or YouTube streams. Friends can enter through a six-character code or synctogether:// link, while the page says media files and buffers remain on local machines. The listed free tier supports one room, four members, and 60 minutes; higher tiers add longer sessions, persistent rooms, voice, and video facecams.
