Watch YouTube together
Search or paste an on-demand video link. Watch on Mac or TV. YouTube ads and playback restrictions still apply.
Sync your local videos
Each Mac participant brings the exact same file. Everyone can play, pause and seek together. Files aren’t automatically sent or uploaded.
Keep the conversation going
Voice and text chat on Mac; listen and see new messages on TV. You can also watch an existing video from the creator’s cloud library.
For local-video parties, TV participants stay in chat and use the Mac app to watch. VR and Hidden videos stay out of rooms. Rooms and voice are included in the Mac and Android TV downloads as a preview. TV compatibility and long-call voice reliability are still being tested.
FROM YOUR DESKTOP TO YOUR COUCH
Stream your videos to Android TV.
Connect the desktop and TV apps with the same account. Browse your collection with the remote and let the big screen do the showing.
Turn on Allow playback on my TV. Keep both devices on the same home network, with your computer awake and Video Party open. No cloud upload needed.
OPTIONAL CLOUD · BY INVITATION
Computer off. Movie night on.
Choose Sync to cloud for selected videos. Once uploaded, they can play on TV with your computer switched off. Cloud storage requires access enabled on your account.
A LITTLE HELP GETTING STARTED
Simple guides. From setup to play.
Short, practical tutorials. From your first import to your first movie night.
Local video playback is available on Mac, Windows and Linux. Version 2.3.0 includes the private rooms preview on Mac and Android TV; Windows and Linux rooms will follow. iOS and Android phone apps and Apple TV streaming are upcoming. A phone browser can connect your devices today.
Installing on Mac
Download and unzip the Mac app, then move it to Applications. The app is signed and notarized by Apple. Open Video Party to get started.
Installing on Android TV
Download the APK using a browser or downloader app on your TV. Allow installation from that app when prompted, open the APK and choose Install. Open Video Party and follow its connection code. Future APK updates can be installed over the existing version.
Can I stream my VR videos to Meta Quest (Oculus) with DeoVR?
Yes. Add your files to VR Videos in Video Party on your computer. Connect your computer and Quest to the same private network. In Watch in DeoVR, choose your Wi-Fi or Ethernet address and select Start VR sharing. Enter the displayed VR library URL in DeoVR’s browser with https:// selected for a short link, or http:// for a direct local address, then choose a video from the thumbnail gallery. Keep Video Party open and your computer awake. Headset playback depends on the codec, resolution and DeoVR version.
Do I need an account?
You can organize and play local videos on desktop without signing in. Sign in with Google to connect your TV, use an enabled cloud library, or create and join rooms. Every participant in a room must sign in.
Does adding a video upload it?
No. Adding a video to your desktop library points to the original file on your computer. Cloud uploads happen only when you choose to sync a video and your account has cloud access. Local TV streaming sends the video over your home network.
What if I do not have the local video?
Add the exact same file to your own desktop library. Video Party checks its contents, so renaming the file is fine but a different edit or encoding will not match. The room does not automatically upload or send the creator’s local file. You can stay in chat while everyone else watches, then catch up when your copy is ready.
Which devices can I use?
Download the desktop app for Apple Silicon Mac, Windows x64 or Linux x64, and the TV app for Android TV 8 or later. For VR, use DeoVR separately on a compatible Meta Quest headset. The private rooms preview is available on Mac and Android TV; rooms on Windows and Linux will follow. iOS and Android phone playback and streaming, plus Apple TV streaming, are coming later. Today, your phone’s browser can approve a device connection.
