If you would like to update to a new version, simply download the new Syncplay AppImage. This is entirely optional and currently needs to be configured by the user. If you want to restrict what Syncplay can do on your system, you can run the AppImage in a sandbox like Firejail. Then double-click the AppImage in the file manager to open it.

No system libraries or system preferences are altered. Download an application, make it executable, and run! No need to install. Awesome!ĪppImages are single-file applications that run on most Linux distributions. Syncplay is available as an AppImage which means 'one app = one file', which you can download and run on your Linux system while you don't need a package manager and nothing gets changed in your system. Syncplay also includes text-based chat so you can discuss a video as you watch it (or you could use third-party Voice over IP software to talk over a video). When a new person joins they will also be synchronised. This means that when one person pauses/unpauses playback or seeks (jumps position) within their media player then this will be replicated across all media players connected to the same server and in the same 'room' (viewing session). Syncplay synchronises the position and play state of multiple media players so that the viewers can watch the same thing at the same time.
