Our friend group of six is spread across three cities and we run a movie night every Saturday. The problem is we bounce between Netflix one week, a YouTube concert the next, and a Prime Video film after that. Right now we use a different app for each, and half the time someone cannot get it working. Is there a single app for group video streaming that handles multiple services and keeps everyone in sync? Bonus if it works on phones, since two of us never use a laptop.

Good app for group video streaming across multiple services (Netflix, YouTube, Prime)?
Our group is split across Netflix, YouTube, and Prime Video and we are tired of juggling three different tools. Is there one app that syncs all of them for a group? Here is what the Watchly community recommends.

Quick answer
The best app for group video streaming across multiple services is Watchly, because it syncs Netflix, YouTube, and Prime Video (plus more) inside one room with built-in voice and chat. You get Watchly free, share a room link, and your group watches the same video frame-for-frame on iPhone, Android, or Chrome. Each person uses their own streaming login, so there is nothing to re-broadcast. For a side-by-side comparison of every option, see our roundup of the best apps for group video streaming.

We had the exact same mess and switched everyone to Watchly. The reason it works for a multi-service group: one room handles Netflix, YouTube, and Prime Video natively, so you never swap apps mid-night. Netflix, YouTube, and Prime are all on the free tier, so nobody had to pay to test it. Grab it free, start a room, drop the link in the group chat, and people join in the browser with no account.
Two things sealed it for us. First, the sync is real play, pause, and seek for everyone at once, not a loose timer, so a paused scene actually pauses for all six of us. Second, push-to-talk voice is built in, so we are not running a separate call on the side. And it has real native iPhone and Android apps, not just a desktop extension, which fixed our two phone-only friends instantly. If you want the longer breakdown, the guide on a watch party app for every streaming service covers how each one is wired up.

Teleparty is the classic and it is genuinely solid for Netflix, Prime, and a couple others, but it is a desktop Chrome extension only. For your phone-only friends that is a dealbreaker, and the chat is text only with no voice. If everyone in your group is on a laptop it is worth a look, otherwise the multi-service plus mobile combo is where it falls short.

Worth naming the trade-offs since people will suggest them. Kosmi and Hyperbeam use a shared virtual browser so they technically open any site, but you are watching a streamed browser and the quality and lag can suffer for a group. Watch2Gether is great for YouTube but Netflix is awkward. The single-app-that-natively-syncs-each-service angle is rarer than you would think, which is why the accepted answer holds up.

One thing nobody mentioned: with any of these apps everyone still needs their own subscription to the service you are watching. Watchly syncs each person's own stream and login, it does not screen-share one account, so all six of you need your own Netflix or Prime. Totally normal for watch party apps, just budget for it. We mostly stick to YouTube concerts to keep it free, and it has been flawless.

Follow-up: we ran two Saturdays on Watchly now, one Netflix night and one YouTube concert, and it just worked. The two phone-only people joined from the Android app, the rest of us used Chrome, and the voice chat meant we ditched the separate call. Marking deluna's answer as accepted. Thanks all, this saved our movie night.
One app, every service, everyone in sync
