The concept behind Watch2Gether is pretty simple: Allow multiple people to watch the exact same content at the exact same time and communicate with each other while doing so. To use Watch2Gether, you simply go to the website, create a "room", send out invitations, go into the room, choose the content and enjoy that content with your friends. No matter where you or they are, you will all see the same content at the same time and you can discuss the content in the integrated chatroom while watching. For example, teachers and professors could use Watch2Gether to make sure that all of their students are viewing and discussing the same video in a controlled environment. You can share many different types of content, such as videos, gaming, web browsing and more. There is even webcam support so that you can stream video from one or more webcams live. No matter the content selected, everyone will be seeing and discussing the same content at the same time. All users have the ability to share content in a room by default. So, for larger groups, it may make sense to use room moderation to control who can choose the content to be shared with the group.
