Can I find a YouTube video directly on this page?

Yes. Enter a title and BlaTube will show YouTube-only results. Choosing a result creates a private room with that video.

Which YouTube links are supported?

Direct /watch, youtu.be, /shorts, /live and /embed links work when they identify one video. A channel page or a playlist without a selected video does not.

Do I need the browser extension?

No. YouTube search and supported direct links work in a regular BlaTube room in the browser.

Why can a friend see an ad or a different status?

YouTube starts ads and loading independently for every viewer. BlaTube shows participant status so the group knows when to continue.

Will a private or restricted video open?

Only when the source video is available to every participant. BlaTube does not bypass sign-in, privacy, age or regional restrictions.

Watch YouTube together in your browser

No extension is required for YouTube videos, Shorts, premieres or live links.
One private room keeps the shared player, participant status, chat and video call together.
YouTube still controls ads, sign-in, age, region and privacy access for each viewer.

What a YouTube watch room looks like

The 16:9 YouTube player fills the main column. Participants, playback status and chat stay beside it at the same height.
