[XenSupport] Watch Party - Press play. Together.

View attachment 338268

Bring your community together to watch videos in real time. Members create themed watch rooms (movies, talks, gameplay, AMAs, e-sports), invite each other, and react together as the video plays. Every play, pause, and seek action from the host propagates to every viewer instantly. A live chat sidebar runs alongside the player so the conversation flows while you watch.

It's the kind of feature that turns a forum from "place where people post" into...

I just bought it, and it’s really easy to set up and use! It would be really cool if you could also schedule streams like in a movie theater! By that I mean, for example, a live stream from XYZ on May 27, 2026, at 6:00 PM! That way, users could visit the homepage and see which streams are available, when, and where.

Hi,
Thanks a lot for your purchase and for the kind words, really glad to hear the setup was smooth for you!
Your idea is excellent and honestly something I’ve been thinking about too. A scheduled streams system (like a movie theater program) with a public schedule visible on the homepage would add a lot of value: users could discover upcoming streams, set reminders, and the community feel around premieres would be much stronger.
I’m adding this to the roadmap for a future update. I can already see it working with:
• A schedule manager in the admin panel (date, time, host, description, thumbnail)
• A widget for the homepage / forum showing upcoming streams
• Optional reminders / notifications before a stream starts
I’ll keep you posted as soon as I start working on it. Thanks again for the great suggestion!
Best regards

Great idea and useful! Is it possible to add some more video' sources, not only YouTube + Twitch? VKVideo, Rutube? It also would be super useful as there is no much more addons for video.

Hey, great suggestion! VKVideo and Rutube would broaden the addon's
reach significantly, especially for Russian-speaking communities.

I'm planning v1.2 around expanding the supported providers. VKVideo
has a solid embed API that should integrate cleanly. Rutube I'd need
to evaluate more carefully since their JS API is more limited, but
I'll see what I can do. Also considering adding Vimeo while I'm at it.

Adding both to the roadmap. Thanks for the input! :)

Thanks a lot, really appreciate the kind words :)

I try to ship fixes fast because that's how I'd want it as a customer myself. Whenever you're ready to grab the addon, you're welcome, and if you have questions before pulling the trigger, just ask, no pressure.

Cheers!
 
Amazing! Thank you for the super fast updates! I reported the issue yesterday and you already fixed and expanded it during the same night

Your addons are really worth every euro,dollar, etc.! I also really love that you actively want feedback from the community and continue improving the addons because of it.

I truly hope there will be many more addons from you in the future. (I already sent you my wishlist) Finally someone who also understands how important gamification is for communities! It really has huge potential!

Hi,

Thank you so much for this amazing review, it really means a lot!

Fast fixes are only possible thanks to clear and detailed reports like yours, so the credit goes both ways. And honestly, community feedback is what drives these addons forward, I'd rather build what people actually want than guess on my own.

I received your wishlist and I'm already going through it. And yes, gamification has huge potential for communities, definitely expect more in that direction!

Thanks again for the trust and support.

Best regards

Hi,

Thanks a lot for the kind words and for taking the time to test the addon! I just saw your PM and I'll go through it carefully and reply to you there.
Really glad you see the potential, that was exactly the goal: giving communities a simple way to share video content together. More improvements are already on the way!

Thanks again for the support.
Best regards

How haven't i found this earlier. This is so awesome and the potential it has... There are games and apps that include such watch parties and they are so fun. To include it in forums makes it very awesome. I need to set a reminder from when I'm back from holidays to buy multiple of your add-ons. Many thanks <3
