Powered by [Sceenic](https://www.sceenic.com/), Watch Together unlocks the ability to consume events with friends in a virtual room with camera and microphone support. Share the excitement, create rooms, invite friends, and co-view synchronized live and video-on-demand (VOD) content. Watch Together enhances the DIVA Player experience, helping to increase user engagement and encourage app retention. ## Getting started with Watch Together The steps documented below explain a typical user flow for setting up and entering Watch Together mode. ### Step 1: Enter Watch Together mode Select the ![Watch_Together_button.png](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/5440601280156.png) button in the top right-hand corner of the screen to enter Watch Together mode. ##### Watch Together button: ![Watch_Together__step_1__button.png](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/5440602540572.png) ### Step 2: Enable camera and microphone access When setting up Watch Together for the first time, users must enable access to the device camera and microphone using the ![Watch_Together_-_enable_access_button.png](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/5440603840284.png) button in the panel. If you've already set permissions up, jump straight to [step 3: Lobby](/v1/docs/watch-together#step-3a-create-a-watch-room). ![Watch_Together_-_enable_access.png](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/5440604782108.png) > [!NOTE] > **Note:**The permissions dialog presents differently depending on the browser/device in use. ##### Safari browser permissions example: ![Watch_Together_-_Safari_permissions_notification.png](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/5440605819804.png) 1. Select 'Allow' to grant access to the device camera and microphone. Users are then automatically taken to the [lobby](/v1/docs/watch-together#step-3-lobby) to create or join a room. If users choose to deny access, they cannot proceed, and an error message displays. Repeat [step 2: enable camera and microphone access](/v1/docs/watch-together#step-2-enable-camera-and-microphone-access) to progress to the [lobby](/v1/docs/watch-together#step-3-lobby). ### Step 3: Lobby Users reach the lobby once camera and microphone permissions are enabled. The lobby automatically displays the user's camera with the microphone unmuted. In the lobby, users can [create a room](/v1/docs/watch-together#step-3a-create-a-watch-room), [join a room](/v1/docs/watch-together#step-3b-join-a-watch-room), and adjust [room controls](/v1/docs/watch-together#watch-room-controls). Permission granted to camera and microphone: ![Watch_Together_-_lobby.png](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/5440607117852.png) ### Step 3a: Create a Watch Room ![Watch_Together_-_Watch_room_created.png](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/5440686721308.png) 1.

New users must complete [step 2: enable camera and microphone access](/v1/docs/watch-together#step-2-enable-camera-and-microphone-access) before proceeding. ![Watch_Together_-_Join_room.png](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/5441493519260.png) 4.

Select the ![Watch_Room_-_Join_room_button.png](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/5441575984156.png) button (activates upon entering invite code). Users are taken to the associated Watch Room. ### Step 4: Watch Together with friends Welcome to the Watch Room! Sit back and enjoy synchronized content with others. ![Watch_Together_-_room_joined.png](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/5441577120668.png) Above is an example of a Watch Room with the *maximum of four participants per room*. Available in portrait or landscape mode (on mobile and tablet), view the video player alongside Watch Room participants in the panel. When joining a room, the camera and microphone are active by default, however, participants can mute themselves and turn off their camera using the [room controls](/v1/docs/watch-together#watch-room-controls). The panel contains video tiles representing each participant in the room. Video tiles are ordered by most recently joined at the top in landscape view, or the top-left in portrait view. Usernames display in the bottom-left corner of the tile. Anyone in the Watch Room can *pause* or *seek forward/backward* through the video stream like normal, however, in Watch Together mode, playback actions affect all participants in the room – everyone always views the same moment of the event. #### Room for one more? Watch Rooms with less than the maximum of four participants display the ![Watch_Together_-_copy_invite_button.png](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/5441579506844.png) button in the panel. All participants, including guests and the host, can copy the invite code to share with friends. ![Watch_Together_-_room_less_than_4_participants.png](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/5441599638940.png) #### Watch Room controls Room controls found within the panel give participants the option to switch their cameras on/off, mute/unmute their microphones, adjust [room volume](/v1/docs/watch-together#watch-room-volume), and leave the room. ![Watch_Together_-_Room_controls.png](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/5441580581404.png) #### Watch Room volume Control the volume of the room participants separately to the volume of the video stream. > [!NOTE] > **Note:**On Android devices, select the volume button to mute/unmute the room participants. Use the device volume buttons to manage sound levels. On desktop, hover over the volume button to display the slider. Select the volume button to mute/unmute. ![Watch_Together_-_volume__desktop_.png](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/5441600930972.png) On iOS, tap the volume button to display the volume slider.

The camera and microphone are both enabled. ![Watch_Together_-_video_tile_-_microphone_and_camera_enabled.png](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/5441622662044.png) ##### Microphone muted example: When a participant mutes their microphone, a red crossed out microphone icon displays at the bottom-right corner of the video tile. ![Watch_Together_-_microphone_muted.png](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/5441601825820.png) ##### Camera switched off example: When participants switch their cameras off, their first two initials display in the centre of the video tile. Participants with two-string usernames e.g., 'Michael Scott' display the first character of each 'MS'. ![Watch_Together_-_video_tile_-_camera_switched_off.png](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/5441740610844.png) Participants with one-string usernames e.g., 'Oyster' display the first two characters' OY'. ![Watch_Together_-_username__1_string_.png](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/5441740950300.png) ##### Speaking highlight example: When a participant speaks, a yellow border displays around the participant's video tile for everyone else in the room. ![Watch_Together_-_participant_speaking.png](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/5441741243036.png)
