How to Watch Crunchyroll on Two Screens

Watching Crunchyroll on two screens is possible by casting to a TV while controlling sync from a laptop, or by joining the same AniDachi watchroom from two devices. The easiest way for remote friends is AniDachi because playback stays aligned without screen sharing.

Method 1: AniDachi Watchroom (remote two-screen sync)

Each person opens Crunchyroll on their own screen and joins one watchroom. Timestamps stay matched — one viewer on a laptop, another on a TV browser, both paused when someone hits pause in the extension.

Method 2: Cast Plus Sync Extension

Cast Crunchyroll from a phone to Chromecast or AirPlay while a laptop runs AniDachi for remote friends. Local casting handles the big screen; the watchroom handles friends who are not in the room.

Method 3: Same Room, Two Screens

Couples or roommates sometimes want individual headphones on two laptops while watching the same episode. Join one watchroom from both devices — reactions stay in chat without fighting over one audio output.

Step-by-Step Setup

1. Confirm catalog access. Make sure both screens can play the same Crunchyroll episode — check region and subscription tier.
2. Install AniDachi on the host device. Add the Chrome extension on the device that will create the watchroom.
3. Open Crunchyroll on each screen. Navigate both devices to the same episode before starting playback.
4. Create and share the watchroom. Generate an invite link and open it on the second screen's browser if a friend is remote.
5. Start from the host. Let the watchroom host press play first so sync anchors to one timeline.
6. Pause from any connected device. Use AniDachi sync so bathroom breaks pause both screens simultaneously.
