SideBySide is an Android app that lets you watch videos together with people far away, in perfect sync. One person hosts a private room, others join with a room ID, and everyone watches the same moment at the same time — with live emoji reactions.
Yes. SideBySide is free to download from Google Play and free to use for creating and joining rooms.
Only the host needs the Android app. Anyone you invite can join directly from their web browser using the room link or room ID — no download or account required to watch.
The host's playback is streamed to the room in real time over a secure peer-to-peer connection, so everyone sees the same frame at the same moment — including plays, pauses, and seeks.
Yes. Rooms are only reachable by people who have your room ID, and you can add a password for an extra layer of privacy so only invited guests can join.
Just open the link they sent you — the room ID fills in automatically and you tap “Continue Watching.” Or scroll to the Join a room section on this page and type the room ID yourself.
Download SideBySide, create your room, and turn distance into just a detail.
