Two rooms · One reel
Press play together.
Duet keeps two players on the same frame, down to a tenth of a second, on whatever you're already watching. You each stream from your own account. Duet only carries the timing.

The console is for your phone or laptop. TV mode is a big-screen view for a smart TV browser or a screen you've cast to.
Which setup is yours?
Laptop & laptop
Install the Duet extension on both browsers. It hooks into whatever video is on screen — Netflix, Prime, YouTube, Disney+, Max, Jellyfin, a local file — and keeps both sides in step. Nothing to configure per service.
Laptop & TV — best result
Run an HDMI cable from the TV person's laptop to the TV, or cast the browser tab. The extension does the syncing; the TV is just a bigger monitor. Every service works, because the browser is still the player.
Laptop & native TV app
A Netflix app on a smart TV can't be driven from outside — no app allows it. Open TV mode there instead and Duet runs a cue console: a shared 3-2-1 countdown, matching timecode, and a plain instruction like skip back 4 seconds when you drift. You press the buttons; Duet tells you exactly when.
Duet never copies, relays, or re-streams video. Both of you need your own access to whatever you're watching.
