Watch Party USA
Mzelo is a free watch party platform for users in the United States. It handles the multi-timezone reality of US friendships — New York, Chicago, Austin, LA, Seattle — by giving each group a persistent room with a stable URL, so "Friday at 9 ET" is the same room every week.
Built for distributed US friend groups
- College friends spread across coasts after graduation.
- Family watch nights between parents, siblings, and cousins in different states.
- Remote work teams doing end-of-week social breaks.
- Gaming and streaming communities with recurring VOD watch events.
- Long-distance couples with a weekly movie night tradition.
Watch modes for US content
- YouTube Player — a ton of US creator content, music videos, and free films live here. Shared queue, playlists, and search.
- Virtual Browser — cloud browser for streaming sites. Built-in VPN for when regional content windows shift.
- Web Player — any direct video URL. Pair with the M3U8 Sniffer extension to grab links from your usual sites.
- Screen Share — show what's on your screen. Use a Chromium-based browser (Chrome/Edge/Opera) for audio.
- Local Media Share — stream a downloaded file with subtitles.
Recurring across time zones
The core insight for multi-zone groups: pick one anchor time (say 9 PM ET / 6 PM PT), create the room once with a clear URL like mzelo.com/app/rooms/friday-night, and keep it. Mzelo rooms never expire, so the link you pin in your group chat works forever.
Setup
- Open mzelo.com/app.
- Create a room with a memorable custom URL.
- Set it Private and optionally Lock it for a closed group.
- Share the link in your group chat, Discord, or iMessage.
