BlaTube browser extension
Found a video and want to watch it together right away? The BlaTube extension picks up videos on supported pages and helps create a room in one click. For OK.ru and Dzen, it also helps sync play, pause and seeking.
Install the extension, open a video page, and send the video into a BlaTube room without copying the link by hand.
If detection missed your browser or a store link is not configured yet, choose your browser below.

Auto-detection saves a step. Microsoft Edge now has an approved Edge Add-ons listing, while manual store choices stay visible if the browser guess is wrong.
Chrome Web Store
For Chrome, Chromium and Yandex Browser. It installs as a regular Chromium extension.
Microsoft Edge Add-ons
The official Microsoft Edge build has been approved and installs from Edge Add-ons.
Firefox Add-ons
The Firefox build lets you pick up videos on supported pages and send them into a BlaTube room.
Opera Add-ons
A dedicated Opera listing keeps installation inside the browser store Opera users expect.
What the extension does
BlaTube works in the browser. The extension removes an extra step: you do not have to copy a link, return to the site and add the video manually.
One-click room creation
Open a video on a supported page and send it to BlaTube without copying the URL by hand.
Automatic video detection
The helper finds the right player on the page and passes the URL, title, and current playback state to the room.
OK.ru and Dzen in a shared room
On OK.ru and Dzen, the extension helps the room understand what happens in the player: play, pause and seeking.
Careful synchronization
The extension sends only technical video state for the room and does not turn BlaTube into content storage.
How to start
Installation takes a couple of minutes, then the flow stays inside your usual browser.

FAQ
Why do OK.ru and Dzen need the extension?
These platforms sync more reliably through the extension: it helps the room control the external player and read playback state.
Can I continue without the extension?
Yes, the room can continue without sync. The video remains available as an external player, but shared play/pause/seek may be limited.
What if auto-detection picked the wrong browser?
Use the manual store choices on this page. Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Firefox, and Opera cards always stay visible below the primary button.
Does the extension see personal data?
Its job is limited to the video page: find the player, control playback, and pass state into the BlaTube room.
The BlaTube extension complements the web product. It helps detect videos on supported pages, create a room faster and start shared viewing when a simple copied link is not enough. The core flow stays the same: open a video, create a room, invite friends and watch together with synced playback, chat, audio and video calls.
Why use the extension
Many BlaTube rooms can be created directly on the website by pasting a supported video link. The extension is useful when you want to start from the source page itself or when a platform needs extra browser-side support.
- detects a supported video player on the current page;
- sends the video title, preview, platform and source link to BlaTube;
- creates a room without manually copying and switching tabs;
- unlocks extra scenarios for platforms that need browser integration;
- reduces the path from finding a video to watching it with friends.
Supported platforms
Without the extension, BlaTube works with core sources such as YouTube, VK Video, Rutube, Twitch, Vimeo, Dailymotion, PeerTube and Kodik. The extension adds scenarios for OK.ru Video and Dzen, and it also makes video detection faster on supported pages.
Compatible browsers
The extension is built for modern browsers with Manifest V3 support. The primary target is Chrome and Chrome-compatible browsers such as Microsoft Edge, Yandex Browser, Opera and similar Chromium-based browsers. Separate SEO pages for each browser are not needed yet: installation, capabilities and limitations fit on one extension page, while the store link can be shared from the top CTA.
How to install and start
- Use the install button near the top of this page.
- Open the extension listing in your browser store and confirm installation.
- Go to a video page on a supported platform.
- Click the BlaTube extension icon: it will show the detected video.
- Create a room and share the link with friends.
After the room is created, viewing happens in BlaTube. Participants join by link, watch synchronized playback and communicate through text chat, audio or video.
When it helps most
- you often start watch sessions and do not want to copy links manually;
- you need a platform where plain link insertion is less reliable;
- you watch playlists, series, lectures or long recordings with friends;
- you want the shortest flow: find a video, click once, invite friends.
Privacy and safety
BlaTube does not become a video host and does not upload third-party videos to its own servers. Users choose the external source. The extension only helps pass technical information needed to create the room and synchronize playback. Browser permissions are used to detect supported players on pages and power the room creation button.
FAQ
Is the extension required?
No. Core platforms can be started from the BlaTube website. The extension is for additional platforms and faster room creation from a video page.
Do you need a separate page for each browser?
No. One extension page is enough for the current stage. If a specific browser gets a separate store link, it can be added here.
Does it work on phones?

Where is the no-extension flow?
Start with watch videos together online for the basic room flow.
