Teleparty alternative
A Teleparty alternative where you can hear each other
Teleparty keeps the film in sync and gives you a chat box. If what you miss is hearing the laugh at the same moment, a room with voice built in, and friends you can invite in one tap, is the closer thing to the couch.
Free to start, no account needed · Playback sync uses a small free extension for Chrome, Edge or Brave on a computer

Which one
When filmkorner fits better.
You want to talk, not type
The call lives in the room, next to the film, so nobody has to keep a separate voice app open or mute it for the quiet scenes.
You watch with the same people
Add them as friends once. Next film night, tap Invite in the room and it pops up on their screen, with no link to paste into a group chat.
It's two of you, or a small group
Rooms are made for a couch's worth of people: everyone can hear everyone and nobody gets lost in a scrolling chat.
Ads don't throw the room off
When one person hits an ad break, the room waits for them and starts everyone again from the same moment.
When Teleparty is the better pick:
- You mostly watch on Hulu, Crunchyroll, Paramount+ or another service filmkorner doesn't sync yet.
- You're hosting a big party with dozens of people.
- Your group would rather type than talk.
Questions
Switching from Teleparty
Is filmkorner free like Teleparty?
+
Yes. Starting a room, inviting people, syncing, text chat and reactions are free. Voice is free for an hour per room each day; Pro, paid only by the host, makes it unlimited.
How do I invite friends without sending a link?
+
Sign in, pick an @handle, and add friends by theirs. From then on, open a room and tap Invite next to their name: they see it straight away if filmkorner is open, or when they next open it within 12 hours. Anyone new can still join from the room's link.
Can I use both?
+
Yes, they don't get in each other's way. Some people keep Teleparty for a service filmkorner doesn't sync yet and use a filmkorner room when they want to talk.
Does everyone still need their own subscription?
+
Yes, with either one. filmkorner doesn't stream anything itself: each person plays their own copy and the room keeps the players in step.
Do my friends need an account?
+
No. They open your link, pick a name and they’re in. An account is optional: it gives you an @handle so friends can add you, and keeps Pro with you on any device.
