Live watch parties
Press play together. Lose it together.
Watch with friends you bring — or drop into a public room of fans losing their minds over the same scene. Chat stays synced to the moment, with reactions and emotes flying.
The social home for everything you watch
You’ll Never Watch Alone
Watch parties, clubs, reviews, discussions and watchlists for your shows and movies — on your own streaming service. Kino doesn’t stream; you bring the screen, we bring the people.
HOW IT WORKS
Three steps. Keep the service you already have.
- 01
Get Kino
Grab the free app on your phone, or add the extension to your browser. Takes a minute.
- 02
Open your own streaming service
Kino doesn't stream anything. Press play on the service you already pay for — Kino rides alongside it.
- 03
Sync up & chat with the room
Start a party, drop a link, or join a public room of fans. Everyone's synced to the same scene, talking in real time.
EVERYTHING KINO DOES
The party is just the start.
The conversation keeps going.
Press play with the room, then carry it into clubs, discussions and reviews long after the credits roll.
When the party ends, the club doesn’t.
Find your people for the show you can’t stop thinking about.
Threaded talk on every episode.
Spoiler-safe, long after the credits.
Rate it. Review it.
See what the room thought.
What you watched. Who you watched with.
Build a shelf that remembers the nights, not just the titles.
A ROOM OF FANS, NOT JUST FRIENDS
You don’t have to bring anyone to not be alone.
There’s already a room here. Drop into a public party, join a club, or read what the room thought — then bring your friends when you’re ready.

QUESTIONS
The stuff everyone asks first.
-
Do I need a streaming subscription?
Yes — your own. Kino doesn't stream anything; you press play on the streaming service you already pay for, and Kino runs alongside it for the chat, parties and everything social.
-
Do my friends need it too?
To watch together in a party, yes — but it's free, and a party link gets them in fast. You don't need to recruit anyone, though: public rooms and clubs are full of fans already, so you're never watching into the void.
-
Is it free?
Yes. Download the app or add the browser extension for free. You keep your own streaming service; Kino is the social layer on top.
-
What does the browser extension see?
Just enough to sync the room to the scene and show chat in a side panel — it doesn't record or rebroadcast your video. Your streaming account stays yours.
-
Which services work with Kino?
Any streaming service you watch in your browser, plus watching on your phone. You bring the screen; Kino brings the people.
Stop watching alone.
Keep your streaming service. Bring the screen. Kino brings the room — the parties, the clubs, the conversation that doesn’t stop when the credits roll.
