Syncplay icon6/7/2023 Also in the left sidebar, a SyncPlay icon indicates if a user has SyncPlay turned on (blue) or off (gray).Conferencing controls (webcam and mic mute / unmute, change devices and the mic mode dropdown) are now contained at the bottom of the left sidebar.In order to support the new File Review feature, we've made some changes to the layout of rooms: The SyncPlay icon (game controller □) below each participant's name indicates whether that participant has SyncPlay turned on or not - blue is on, gray is off. Participants who have SyncPlay turned off will not affect participants who have SyncPlay turned on, and vice versa. SyncPlay can be turned off by individual participants at any time. Bob jumps ahead to 1:25 of the video, and the video will jump to 1:25 for Alice too. Then, Alice clicks play, and the video will start playing for both Alice and Bob. When two or more participants have SyncPlay turned on, then all video playback controls - pause, play, seek, skip to next / previous source - will be synchronized between those participants.įor example, if Bob and Alice both have SyncPlay turned on, and Bob selects "Aqua.mov" from the source dropdown in the room, then "Aqua.mov" will be loaded into the player for both Bob and Alice. Click the toggle to turn it on.Ĭlicking the bell icon will prompt other participants to turn SyncPlay on. The SyncPlay button will only be visible in rooms that have files assigned to them. Using SyncPlay to watch video files with others using shared playback controls ![]() You can also click the next and previous buttons to the right of the sources dropdown to cycle between sources. The new sources dropdown below the video player allows you to choose which source to load into the player - this can be a livestream, or a video file. There is no limit to how many files can be assigned to a room, but currently a file can only be assigned to one room at a time. You can also unassign a file from a room using the same dropdown. Click the dropdown and select the room you would like a file to be assigned to. The Room Assignment dropdown allows you to select which room you would like your files to appear in. Once the upload is complete, the files will appear in the file browser. Once you've added your desired files, click the Upload button and your files will start uploading. Currently, files must be MP4 or MOV and not larger than 5GB each. Double-click on your newly created folder to open it.Ĭlick the upload button at the top right and either click-and-drag files into the window, or select files or folders by clicking the relevant buttons. Get started by creating a new folder, give it a name and click OK. When you click on it, you'll see a folder containing some demo assets as well as a 'create new folder' button. When you log in to your Louper account at you'll see a new sidebar item called 'Files'. TLDR: Upload video files in the Files page of your account, assign the videos to your chosen room, then join your room and view the videos with others by enabling SyncPlay. But what if you want to collaborate on existing video files, instead of, or in addition to, livestream sources? Until now, Louper has supported livestream video sources only. People shouldn't be limited to what type of digital assets they can collaborate on. We believe that real-time collaboration in the video space should be source-agnostic. We're calling this feature File Review and it opens up a host of new collaborative workflows for video pros. ![]() ![]() Basically, a watch party where everyone sees the same frame of a video file at the same time as one another. Today, I'm excited to announce Louper v1.7, which adds the ability to upload video files to your account, and then view those files in sync with others using shared playback controls.
