Best Apps to Watch YouTube Together (2026)

Verdict

The best app for most recurring YouTube groups is AniDachi — Add to Chrome from the official Store listing, then host watchrooms with live sync, chat, and personal history on full YouTube videos. Friends join for free. Hosting your own room and recording personal watch history require Plus or Pro, including during a trial. Both plans support Crunchyroll, YouTube, and Netflix, with monthly and yearly billing. Async catch-up is coming soon in a later batch. Hub: YouTube watch party.
