coplay
Synchronizing video play between two peers.

When two browsers are playing the same web video, coplay can connect them with WebRTC (using PeerJS) and enable users to control two video players synchronously.
Coplay now works on Youku, Sohu TV, Tencent Video, Tudou, iQiyi, YouTube and bilibili.

FAQ
-
Why Peer ID doesn't show up on Youtube?
Youtube uses HTTPS but PeerJS (the WebRTC service which coplay rely on) will make some HTTP requests, which are blocked by browsers' security policies. Current work around see here.
