Group watch onboarding

Bring your group together: choose a host, check that everyone can play the episode, and share the room invite.

Each viewer needs their own access to the episode on Crunchyroll. Only the host needs AniDachi Plus or Pro, including during a trial; friends join on Free accounts. Everyone keeps their streaming login private. Everyone installs AniDachi in desktop Chrome and signs in. The host opens the episode, creates the room, and sends its invite link. Choose a time when everyone can join for live playback.

Before your first session, review AniDachi pricing and use the anime watch party toolkit.
