How to use Slonke
One link turns any video into a two-person watch party: synced playback, voice, video and chat. Here is the whole thing, start to finish, in about a minute.
Walkthrough video, coming soon
The written steps below cover everything in the meantime.
Five steps to your first watch party
- Add Slonke to Chrome. Install the free extension from the Chrome Web Store, then pin it so the Slonke icon sits next to your address bar. It is desktop Chrome, and both people need it.
- Open something to watch. Go to the video on Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, Disney+, Hotstar and more, on the actual video page, signed in with your own account.
- Start the party. Click the Slonke icon, type a name, and hit Start watch party. Slonke spins up a private room just for the two of you.
- Send the invite link. Copy the one invite link and send it to your person over chat. Want it private? Set a
PIN when you start.
- They join, you watch together. They open the link (it offers the extension if they do not have it), click Join, and land in the same scene at the same second. Press play once and you are synced.
What you get in the room
- Perfect sync. Play, pause and seek stay locked together on both screens.
- Voice and video. Talk and see each other while you watch, peer-to-peer and encrypted.
- Floating chat. Whisper, react and quote lines without pausing the show.
- Reactions and games. Fire quick reactions and play in-chat mini-games together.
- Switch videos. Move the party to a new video together, no new link needed.
- PIN-locked rooms. Add a PIN so only your person can step into the party.
Bring your own accounts
Good to know
Slonke is a synchroniser, not a streaming service. Each person plays the video on their own legitimate account, so nothing is pirated, no DRM is touched, and no streams are hosted. Slonke simply presses play at the same moment on each side.
