How do I host an anime watch party online?

Create a Mzelo room, pick the Web Player or Virtual Browser, and share the room link. Everyone's playback stays in sync while you chat or voice call.

Can I use sites I already watch anime on?

Yes. Open the Virtual Browser in the room and navigate to your usual site, or use the Web Player with a direct video URL (the M3U8 Sniffer extension on Chrome makes this easy). The Android app has a built-in browser that detects streamable links automatically.

Does Mzelo work for weekly anime clubs?

Yes. Rooms never expire, so the same room (with the same URL and decor) can host every week's episode night.

Anime Watch Party Online (Watch Anime Together)

Mzelo is built for anime watch parties — synchronized rooms, shared queues, chat, voice/video, and flexible watch modes so your whole club stays on the same episode at the same timestamp.

Best watch modes for anime

Web Player — paste a direct video URL. On desktop, use the M3U8 Sniffer Chrome extension to grab links from your favorite sites. On Android, the app's built-in browser does this for you.
Virtual Browser — a shared cloud browser everyone can watch and authorized users can control. Good when your site buffers on everyone's local connection, or when the site doesn't expose direct URLs. Has a built-in VPN for region issues.
YouTube Player — perfect for official clips, openings, AMVs, and reaction content.
Local Media Share — stream downloaded episodes with your own subtitle files. Started from web; watchable on web and Android.

Run a great weekly episode night

Create one room once and keep it forever. Pick a custom URL like mzelo.com/app/rooms/anime-club.

Enable Decor Mode in Room Settings so the room feels like your club's space.

Set the room to Private and optionally Lock it. Promote regulars to King first so they can rejoin.

Use Movie Night Mode during episodes — it enlarges the video and compacts the UI for everyone.

Queue up openings, outros, or AMVs in the YouTube player between episodes.
