CyTube
A Node.js server and web client for creating synchronized video-watching channels with integrated chat.
What is CyTube?
CyTube is an open-source platform that allows users to create channels where videos from multiple hosts are played in sync for all viewers. It solves the problem of coordinating watch parties by providing synchronized playback, a shared playlist, and integrated chat in one web-based interface.
Community organizers, streamers, and groups looking to host synchronized video-watching sessions, as well as developers interested in self-hosting a media synchronization server.
Developers choose CyTube for its self-hostability, multi-source video support, and integrated chat features, offering a customizable alternative to commercial watch-together platforms with full control over the server and channels.
