Watch JioHotstar together, with family back home
Living abroad shouldn't mean watching the big match alone, or missing the serial your family talks about every evening. Pin it to a private room with the free extension, call everyone in and cheer, groan and gossip together like you're all in the same living room.
Match nights and serial nights
Switch your room to the Sports Night theme for a cricket match, or keep it cozy for a family film night. Voice chat carries every "did you see that?" across time zones, and text chat with emojis handles the celebrations.

JioHotstar questions
Can we watch cricket together online with LofiCouch?
Yes. Pin the match from JioHotstar to your room and watch it together with voice chat. Everyone in the room stays on the same moment, so nobody spoils a wicket.
Can I watch JioHotstar with family in another country?
Yes, as long as each person can open the title on their own JioHotstar account where they live. Check before match day, then everyone joins your room.
Can we share one JioHotstar subscription?
Yes, if your plan allows it. JioHotstar decides how many screens your plan can use at once, and LofiCouch keeps everyone watching in sync.
Can we watch on phones?
JioHotstar 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 title?
Check they're signed in to JioHotstar and that the title is available where they are, then try again. Still stuck? Email us your browser, extension version and what you saw, and we'll help.
