PlannedThe intent is written; the spec isn’t.
Same film. Same second. Different couches.
A Plaid Party keeps everyone on the same frame, wherever they are and whatever they watch on.
Start a party.
Pick a film, choose Plaid Party. You get a link and a short code to send.
Everyone’s here.
Friends join from a TV, a laptop or a phone. You see who’s watching and who’s still loading.

Press play once.
Play, pause and seek reach everyone together. The target: less than half a second between any two screens.
4K on the TV. 720p on the train.
Everyone watches the same moment, but each device gets its own stream: Direct Play on the living room TV, a lighter transcode on a phone on mobile data. Nobody waits for the slowest connection.
No “wait, where are you?”
The server holds the clock. When someone drifts, PLAID nudges their speed instead of jumping. After buffering, they slide back in on their own.
Sam asks for a pause.
Anyone can ask. The host decides, or everyone does: your call.
- Reactions
- Emoji over the film, for everyone.
- Chat
- A side panel that never covers the picture.
- Pause requests
- A toast for the host, or for everyone.
- Who controls
- Host only, or everyone. Switch any time.
