Playback in lockstep
Play, pause, and seek for everyone at once. If one person starts buffering, the room waits. Nobody watches a scene alone.

What you get
Everything you need for movie night
A Chrome extension that turns phimbro.com into a synchronized cinema for up to three people.
Live chat
Typing indicators, grouped messages, hover an avatar to see who sent what, and message bubbles that take on whatever theme the room is wearing.
Video calls
Peer to peer video and audio for the whole room, with STUN and TURN fallback for awkward networks. Speaker and headphone modes for clean movie audio.
Rooms you can lock
Six digit codes, up to three people, and a lock the host can flip at any time. Locked rooms ask newcomers for a four digit password.
Soundboard
Five synced sound effects, ten floating reactions, and pin mode to stick an emoji on the exact spot of the frame you are yelling about.
Fullscreen mode
Video call, chat, and soundboard snap into one connected panel beneath the film. Toggling fullscreen no longer drops the call for anyone.
Sync
One timeline, three players
Anyone scrubs, everyone lands together
Everyone lands on the same frame
One person scrubs and the whole room moves with them. Rewind for a line somebody missed, skip the bit nobody likes, pause to argue about it. You all stay on the same second of the film.
- The film waits for slow connectionsIf one person stalls, everybody pauses until they catch up.
- You all start togetherPress play and the film begins from the top for everyone at the same moment.
- Jump around freelyScrub anywhere in the film and the room follows without missing a beat.
Rooms
Public by default, private on demand
The host holds the key
A room opens with nothing but its code, so a friend can drop straight in. Flip the lock and Binger starts asking for a four digit password at the door instead.
- Locking never kicks anyoneEveryone already inside carries on, mid-film and all.
- Change it whenever you likeThe host flips the lock or picks a new password, and every screen catches up the moment they do.

Video call
Everyone connects to everyone
Three people, three direct links, no server in the middle
Straight between browsers
Your camera and mic go directly to the people you are watching with, browser to browser. If a network gets awkward about it, a relay quietly takes over and the call carries on.
- Fullscreen keeps the call aliveGo fullscreen and the call comes with you. Your camera stays on and nobody else has to reconnect.
- Speaker or headphonesOn speakers, Binger strips the echo so the film does not bounce back into the call. On headphones it drops the filtering entirely for the cleanest audio.
Personalize
Ten themes, and the room wears them together
Pick one and Binger repaints everything: overlay, chat bubbles, buttons, the video call frame, and the soundboard. Change it and the whole room changes with you. Four themes bring their own weather.
This page is wearing them too. Go on.
In the chat
Meet Binger Bot
Flip bot mode on in the chat bar and the room gains a fourth voice. Ask it anything about the film, or describe a scene and it will take you there.
- It looks things upCast, ratings, box office, trivia. It decides on its own when a question needs the live web and searches mid answer.
- It finds scenes by descriptionBinger pulls the subtitles, rewrites them into scene descriptions, and matches yours against them. Then it seeks the film for the whole room.
- It knows the roomWho is here, what is playing, the current timestamp, and the last few things anyone said. Replies stay short, like a friend on the couch.
React together
Sounds, reactions, and pins
Everything lands on every screen at once. Reactions drift up and fade. Pins stick to the exact spot on the frame you dropped them, each with its own little performance.
Tap one to send it. Drag one anywhere to pin it.

Questions
Before you ask
Three. You do not have to wait for all three though. Two of you can get going and the last one joins whenever they turn up.
Yes. The syncing, the chat and the call all run through Binger, so everyone at the movie night needs it installed.
It puts a four digit password on the door. Everyone already inside carries on undisturbed, and only the host can change the lock or the password. Treat it as a deterrent against someone guessing your room code rather than a vault.
Sort of. You pick a username and a password the first time you open Binger, and that is the whole signup.
Describe the moment you are thinking of and Binger reads the film's subtitles, works out what happens across each stretch of it, and finds the part that matches you best. Then it takes the whole room there. It remembers each film afterwards, so asking again is instant.
Nine times out of ten somebody is running an older build. Get everyone onto the same version and it sorts itself out.
Yes, and it always will be. Binger is a passion project, not a product.
