The team at SyncVid.io built a Chrome extension that allows users to watch YouTube videos with friends remotely and synchronously, using Twilio Sync technology. The WiFi outage during the MLH Prime Hackathon actually ended up helping them focus on UX and UI instead of coding, which ultimately led to a better product. After overcoming initial challenges, including technical difficulties, the team successfully launched their app by 8am, allowing users to create rooms, invite friends, and watch videos together in real-time. The Syncvid.io crew plans to expand their platform to include additional streaming services like Netflix and Hulu, providing a unique way for users to engage with content together remotely.
