  I have been using Jellyfin for over a year and have never seen this. I’ll have to look later! What client do you use?

    SyncPlay.

    It’s a people icon in the top right in most clients that support it.

    Users can set up a room, and other users can then see an join that room. Any media played in the room is played on all clients in the room.

      I tried getting this to work on my own server, but it apparently needs web sockets enabled to work, which I’m sadly too dumb to figure out. The button is there and I can see my friend in the group, but when I start something, nothing happens for them.

      Why does sysadmin gotta be so haaaarrrrd???

        It should just be a matter of forwarding the righ subpath in your reverse proxy.

        There should be page for most reverse proxy setups in the jellyfin docs.

  I’ve tried it a couple times and it’s never worked for me. It’s the only thing keeping me on Plex. I couldn’t find much about this online as apparently not many people watch stuff with other people online???
