Watch Crunchyroll together for your next anime night
Pick the episode, settle the sub-or-dub debate and press play together. When the credits roll, stay in the room and talk it all through: the fight, the twist, the theories for next week.
Anime is better with your crew
Catch the new episode the night it drops, marathon a whole arc on a Sunday or finally get your best friend into the series you won't stop talking about. Voice chat keeps every scream at the big reveal in real time, and text chat with emojis handles the rest.

Press play together

Agree on the episode before you start
Settle the season, the episode and sub or dub before you press play, so nobody is a scene behind. Subtitle and dub options come from Crunchyroll. Pause together for snack breaks, and keep spoilers out of chat for anyone watching for the first time.
Your Crunchyroll, your account
Everyone watches on their own Crunchyroll account, and LofiCouch keeps you on the same frame. Here's what everyone needs.
Crunchyroll questions
Can two people watch Crunchyroll at the same time?
Yes. Join the same LofiCouch room on desktop, pin the episode and you'll both watch it in exact sync, with voice chat for the commentary. Rooms fit up to four.
How do we watch anime together online?
Start a free room, invite your friends and pin the episode from Crunchyroll with the free extension. For anime on YouTube, you can paste the link and watch on any device.
Can we share one Crunchyroll account?
Yes, if your plan allows it. Crunchyroll sets how many screens can stream at once on each plan, and LofiCouch keeps everyone in sync.
Can we watch on phones?
Crunchyroll watch parties are best on desktop today. On a phone, YouTube and Google Drive watch parties work right now.
What if one person can't play the episode?
Check they're signed in to Crunchyroll and that the episode is available where they are. Still stuck? Email us your browser, extension version and what you saw, and we'll help.
