Synchronized video viewing with chat and other features. Based on CyTube layout, but with lightweight implementation and very easy way to run locally.
Default channel example: http://synctube-example.herokuapp.com/
- Multi-Language support
- Mobile view with page fullscreen
- Way to play local videos for network users (without NAT loopback feature)
- Playback rate synchronization (with leader)

to add multiple items - Override every front-end file you want (

- Youtube (videos and playlists)
- Raw mp4 videos (or any other media format supported in browser)
- Iframes (without sync)
- Open
