Review Summary
Watch2Gether is praised for its ability to enable synchronized video watching with others globally, supporting multiple sites and offering a free, easy-to-use experience. However, users commonly report that all parties need the extension installed for full functionality, screen sharing requires awkward setup steps, and age restrictions are inconsistently applied. Additionally, ad-induced desynchronization and concerns over excessive permissions have been noted. Developer responsiveness to issues has been appreciated, suggesting ongoing improvements.
