The whole family

Host a virtual family movie night

Birthdays, Sunday evenings, Eid, Christmas — whenever the family can't all be in one house, a virtual movie night is the next best thing.

Here's the simple recipe we see working for families every week.

Create your private room — it's free

No app · No sign-up · Works on any phone

The recipe

Pick a time and schedule it in the room — everyone gets a calendar invite or reminder.
Share one room link in the family group chat; it stays the same every week.
Choose something everyone can watch: YouTube has full films, concerts and old shows.
Let the youngest pick the first video — instant engagement.
End with the wall: everyone posts one photo from their week.

What is SameCouch?

SameCouch is a private living room in your browser for people who are far apart. You watch YouTube, Vimeo or your own videos in perfect sync, see and hear each other in small floating webcam bubbles, react with emoji, and leave photos and notes on a shared memories wall that's still there the next time you both come back.

There is no app to install and no account to create. You make a room with one click, send the link on WhatsApp, and you're together — usually in under ten seconds.

Frequently asked questions

How many people can join?Up to 8 people in one room — enough for a whole family evening or a movie night with friends in different countries.
