Virtual movie night

Sofa, screen, friends

A video call shows you each other's faces. A movie night in World puts you in the same room: on the sofa, on the beanbags, all facing the same TV.

  • YouTube on the TV TVs play YouTube live on their own screens, for everyone in the room.
  • React as it happens Speech bubbles and emotes work while it plays.
  • Seats for everyone Sofas, armchairs and beanbags are real seats your avatar sits in.

From your own home

Your place, your screen

Put a TV in your living room and it's yours to play. Make the room private for a quiet night in, or leave it open and see who wanders by.

  • Paste a link

    Put a YouTube or SoundCloud link on the screen and it starts for the room.

  • Queue it up

    Line up what plays next, and keep playlists of the songs you like.

  • Choose the guests

    Your space's door decides who can come and watch.

The FreeWorlds Cinema

The big screen, together

MatchFlow's own cinema is a public venue: a giant screen, rows of red seats either side of the aisle, and a view from your seat when you sit down. Anyone in the hall can put something on the screen, and anyone can walk in and watch.

Music and DJs

Shared audio, on the beat

Stereos, boomboxes, radios and DJ stands play YouTube, SoundCloud or FreeWorlds Radio for the whole room, and the lights over the dance floor follow the beat.

  • DJ stands Take the decks at a party and the room hears what you play.
  • FreeWorlds Radio Tune any stereo or radio to FreeWorlds Radio and leave it playing.
  • Playlists and likes Keep the songs you love and play them again in any space.

How syncing works

Everyone at the same moment

Nobody has to share their screen, and no host's laptop does the work.

  1. Press playon a TV or a stereo in the room
  2. One playheadWorld keeps one position for the whole room
  3. Every screen followseach player works out where it should be and stays there
  4. Late? No problemwalk in halfway through and it starts at the right spot

Each person's browser plays the video in YouTube's or SoundCloud's own player. MatchFlow doesn't copy, store or stream it again.
