BBC Together offers shared watching and listening experience enabling friends to watch audio and video content together from iPlayer, Sounds or Bitesize, BBC News and Sport websites. The BBC has created an experimental app which provides a way you can watch or listen to BBC programmes with friends at exactly the same time.

To use it, find the link of a programme or piece of video you want to watch with others – from BBC iPlayer, Sounds or Bitesize, BBC News and Sport websites – and paste it into the BBC Together service.

This creates a new group session, which you can share via a link with your friends or family. You are now in control and can pause, play, seek, or choose a new programme for everyone to watch at once.
