The experience
Movie night should feel like everyone is on the same couch.
Laniakea is built for the small ritual people actually miss: choosing something together, reacting together, and never asking "are you at the same timestamp?" again.
When the host presses play, pauses, or jumps ahead, the room follows.
Watch from local files for privacy and speed, or stream from the cloud when nobody has the file.
How it works
A watch room with one timeline and everyone inside it.
The host controls playback. Participants join with a code. The room keeps chat, presence, and video timing connected so the group can focus on watching.
Create or join
Start a room as host or enter a short code as participant. No link chaos, no "which room are we in?" confusion.
Pick local or streaming
Use local mode when everyone has the file, or upload once with streaming mode so friends can watch from the browser.
React in the same moment
Playback sync, presence, and chat stay live so jokes, pauses, and cliffhangers land for everyone together.
Features that matter
Everything needed to make remote watching feel natural.
- Host controls keep play, pause, and seek synced for everyone in the room.
- Short session codes make it easy to invite friends without setup friction.
- Local mode lets everyone use their own file. Streaming mode lets the host upload once.
- Live chat, presence, recent rooms, and expiring video storage keep sessions useful and lightweight.
