How to watch videos together on your phone
You don’t need a laptop for a watch party. CoupleScreen works in your phone’s browser, so you can watch together from the sofa, the train or bed, wherever you both are.
Start from the browser
Open couplescreen.com in Safari or Chrome. There is nothing to download. If you like, add it to your home screen from the browser menu so it opens like an app next time.
Three ways to watch
- YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch: paste the link into the room.
- A video from your phone: tap the upload button and choose a file from your gallery. It starts playing for everyone while it is still uploading, and it is deleted automatically after 6 hours.
- A direct link: links ending in .mp4 or .webm play directly.
Keep it smooth
- Plug in your charger for long films; video and voice together use more battery.
- Turn on Do Not Disturb so notifications don’t pause the video.
- Use headphones to stop the film’s sound coming back through your microphone.
- If one phone keeps falling behind, that phone’s connection is the bottleneck. Moving closer to the router usually fixes it.
Voice, video and chat on a small screen
Turn the phone sideways for a bigger picture. The chat and reactions stay one tap away while the video plays. Camera tiles stay small on phones; drag them out of the way or tap one to make it bigger.
