Rave – Watch Party

Rave features for watch parties

Synchronized streaming across services

Rave streams content together from popular platforms, including Netflix, YouTube, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, and HBO Max. Playback stays synced so every viewer experiences scenes and reactions simultaneously. You choose what to watch, and Rave keeps everyone aligned from start to finish.

Built-in text and voice chat

You can talk while you watch using text messages or voice chat inside the app. This keeps reactions and conversations flowing without switching between apps. It also helps groups coordinate pauses, picks, and next episodes in one place.

Share music and personal videos

Rave lets you listen to music together and share your own videos in a watch party using Google Drive. This works well for personal clips, highlights, or home movies that you want to view as a group. Friends can join from anywhere and follow along in sync.

Cross-device viewing and control

Rave supports phones and computers, including Android, iPhone, Windows, and Mac. You can also join from Android TV and compatible VR devices. If you prefer typing on your phone, you can control chat and playback from the handset while watching on a larger screen.

Create private or shared watch parties

You can start a private session for close friends or open a shared room to meet new people who enjoy the same shows and videos. Inviting others is simple with a link, and groups can browse trending clips or plan a series together. Rave Watch Party sessions make coordination quick for casual hangouts and scheduled events.

Important notes for using Rave

For paid streaming services such as Netflix and similar platforms, each viewer needs to sign in with their own active subscription. Rave syncs playback for the group but does not provide access to subscription content on its own. If a friend cannot view a title, they may need a valid account or a service that offers the same content in their region.

Availability and catalogs can vary by country and by provider. Some services or titles might not appear in your area due to regional policies. Rave is available on mobile and desktop platforms, and the Rave app Android version supports phones and Android TV. Many users prefer to join from a phone and use it as a remote to avoid typing long passwords on a TV.

Rave is free to use, with optional in-app offerings available. If you prefer package files, some users search for Rave app download APK when installing on devices that allow it. Choose the option that fits your device and proceed to create or join a session after setup.

How to use Rave on Android

To get started, download Rave on your Android phone and open the app. The flow is simple and focuses on creating a watch room, connecting a service, and inviting friends to join.

1. Open Rave and allow the permissions you need, such as microphone access if you plan to use voice chat. Then move to the main screen to create or join a room.
2. Select create a watch party or choose join if you already have an invite link. Pick private for a closed session or shared if you want others to find your room.
3. Choose a supported service like Netflix or YouTube and sign in to your account when prompted. This links your playback so Rave can sync the stream with your group.
4. Browse and select a title or video, then press play to start the session. Use the chat icon to send messages or hold the mic button to speak while watching.
5. Tap invite to share a link with friends. As people join, control playback with play, pause, and skip, and adjust volume or voice chat settings as needed.
