Help

Person which created room is so called master. He can control which fragment of video you are currently watching, until you disable synchronization (button above player, you can't see it if you are master), which will allow you to watch whichever moment you want.

Master in chatroom can be recognized by darkred name in his messages. All your messages are those with white background, and others... are written by other participants.

Whenever master disconnects, another master is selected from people left in room and everybody is informed about it in chatroom.

Each chat message has little timestamp, right of nicknames. By clicking on it, you can move to the moment in video, when the message was sent - useful when you want to see what the person was writting about.
