Watch and Discuss Videos in the Same Window

Watch and Discuss Videos in the Same Window

Looking for a convenient tool to use for informal discussion about educational videos?


Yes. 
Well today's post may provide an answer.

Vynchronize - https://vynchronize.herokuapp.com/ - lets users create an on-line room in which they can watch a video while chatting about it with other viewers at the same time.

To use Vynchronize
  • go to the site,
  • enter your name, and
  • pick a name for your chat room.
As soon as you do that a chat room will be launched and you can invite others to join by giving them the URL assigned to your room.
 
Within the room you can play videos from YouTube and Vimeo.

To play a video...
  • copy its URL from YouTube or Vimeo and then
  • paste it into the video queue.
Everyone can then chat about the video in a side panel on the same page. 

Users can pause, rewind, and fast-forward the video just like you can on YouTube or Vimeo.

If you give Vynchronize a try or have already used Vynchronize, do share your feedback, positive and/or negative, in the comments.

Thank you.
