Updated 2026-09-27 · Watchly works on iOS, Android & Chrome

Quick answer

Yes — you can watch Tubi together with friends in other homes using Watchly, and Tubi co-watch sits in the Watchly Pro tier. Watchly syncs play, pause and seek closely for everyone at once, so the movie hits the same moment on every screen while you talk over built-in voice chat and fire off live reactions.

The good news for the budget: Tubi itself is completely free. It's an ad-supported service, so each viewer just needs their own free Tubi account — there's no paid subscription to share or split. That makes a Tubi watch party one of the cheapest movie nights going. Watchly syncs each person's own Tubi stream rather than rebroadcasting one screen, which keeps quality sharp and the setup legal for personal use.

It runs on the native iOS app, the native Android app, and the Chrome extension — so a friend on a phone and a friend on a laptop can share the exact same movie night. Check the exact phone and computer combination your group will use before choosing a watch-party tool.

Best for: Free movie nights where friends are spread across devices and citiesiOS · Android · ChromeFree · Pro from $4.99/mo

Watchly is a native watch-party app for iOS and Android plus a Chrome extension, so everyone watches the same Tubi movie in real-time sync no matter what device they're on. Tubi support lives in Watchly Pro, but Tubi's own streaming stays free for every viewer — you only ever need a free Tubi account.

Push-to-talk voice chat, live reactions and text chat are all built in and free, so there's no second app for the call. Friends can join straight from a shared room link in their browser without creating an account.

  • Real native iOS and Android apps, not just a desktop extension
  • Playback sync of play, pause and seek for everyone
  • Push-to-talk voice, live reactions and text chat built in
  • Tubi streaming stays free — only a free Tubi account needed

Hyperbeam

Shared virtual browser you all click inside

Best for: Quick sessions when nobody wants to install anythingWeb · mobile browsersFree with time limits

Hyperbeam spins up a shared cloud browser that the whole group controls together, so you can open Tubi inside it and watch as one. Because it streams a single virtual screen it works in mobile browsers too, though video quality leans on your connection and free sessions are time-limited.

Pros

  • Runs in a browser, including on phones
  • Nothing to install — share a link and go
  • Everyone can control the shared screen

Cons

  • Free sessions are time-capped
  • Streamed virtual browser can look softer than native playback

Kosmi

Free virtual-browser hangout with games

Best for: Casual hangouts that mix a movie with games and video chatWebFree

Kosmi gives you a free virtual room with a shared browser, video chat and party games, so a Tubi night can roll straight into something else. It's all in the browser with no extension, which is handy, though it leans casual rather than precision-synced.

Pros

  • Free with video chat included
  • Shared browser plus built-in games
  • No extension to install

Cons

  • No native mobile app
  • Sync is looser than a dedicated watch-party app

How to watch Tubi together

For Tubi, use the Watchly Pro tier. Access to the streaming service or video is separate from access to the Watchly room.

  1. Open Watchly from the download page on the devices your group will use.
  2. Choose Tubi and check that every viewer can play the intended title using their own access.
  3. Create a room and share its link privately with your group.
  4. Wait until everyone is ready, then test play and pause before starting the full session.

Before inviting your group

Choose the exact movie and confirm it plays for every viewer before the start time. Match the year and runtime when a search returns remakes, sequels or similarly named films.

If a guest cannot watch

Expect advertising as part of the viewing experience. If viewers finish an ad at different times, wait for everyone to return to the film before resuming discussion. Watchly Pro does not remove Tubi’s ads.

Make the session work for this service

Test the link in each viewer’s browser or app before diagnosing a room issue. If the title itself is unavailable to someone, choose another film that everyone can play.
