How it works
ScreenJockey splits control and playback, so you can manage YouTube without the audience seeing your clicks.
You become the host. Share the room link with anyone who should join.
Fullscreen on a projector/TV is ideal, but it also works in a second tab.
Play, pause, seek, manage playlists, and use live chat while everyone watches.
Instant Sync
Zero-latency synchronization for play, pause, and seeking actions.
Live Chat
Chat in real-time while the host controls playback.
Unlimited Rooms
Create as many rooms as you want — completely free.
Use cases
Designed for a single host controlling YouTube for a group.
Projector nights
Put the Player on the beamer/TV and keep the Controller on your laptop.
Meetings & events
Stay in control of the playlist without breaking the fullscreen experience.
Trainings & workshops
Search and queue videos while the audience keeps watching.
