With these requirements satisfied, this is how to use Syncplay to watch videos in sync with your remote friends. It's worth noting that on Windows, Syncplay server is available in the downloaded binary but it's not on Linux, so on the latter you'll need to clone the Syncplay GitHub repository which contains syncplayServer.py.

If you want to run your own server, see this guide. In my testing I've used mpv with a public Syncplay server, and the instructions below assume that you're using the same. optional: youtube-dl to be able to play online videos supported by it when using mpv (on Windows you can place the downloaded youtube-dl.exe next to mpv.exe, and mpv will pick it up automatically).

For VLC, Syncplay should automatically install a LUA script ( a) in case this does not happen you'll need to install it yourself ( get it from here)

You can choose to use one of the free public Syncplay servers, or you can host your own public or private Syncplay server, be it on Windows, macOS, Linux (including Raspberry Pi). So when one viewer seeks, pauses or unpauses a video, this is applied to all viewers / media players that are in the same Syncplay room, on the same server. The application synchronizes the position and play state of the media player over the Internet, allowing all viewers to watch the same video in the same time. It supports mpv, VLC, MPC-BE and MPC-HC, with each user being able to use any of these media players. Syncplay is a free and open source tool to synchronize media players with remote friends to watch videos together, available for Microsoft Windows, macOS, Linux and *BSD.
