Multiplex, an app to watch torrents together. It provides an experience similar to Apple’s SharePlay and Amazon’s Prime Video Watch Party, except for any torrent instead of a specific streaming service. Thanks to WebRTC, it doesn’t require a server to sync playback, and can use a gateway if a viewer can’t use BitTorrent. It’s written in Go for GNOME; check it out on GitHub https://github.com/pojntfx/multiplex

I hope this gets ported to Windows. I use Linux, but many of my friends don’t and won’t.
WSL?
Same
Is this the same as Plex’s ‘watch together’ feature?
Could anyone tell me about how torrent streaming works? Is it just the file being downloaded to a server and streamed to a bunch of viewers, or something else?
I use WebTorrent / WebTorrent-CLI and it basically streams/partially downloads the torrent and plays in your player of choice.
Not sure about this other option here.
