Nakama

Nakama (Watch Together & Sharing)

Nakama lets you link multiple Tori instances together so you can watch together in sync with friends, or share your library/host instance with a peer without giving them full server access.

Roles

• Host — the instance others connect to. Enable under Settings → Nakama → Host and set a username.
• Peer — connects to a host's Nakama session using the host's remote URL.

Setting up as host

1. Go to Settings → Nakama.
2. Toggle Enable hosting on.
3. Set a display username (shown to peers).
4. Share your reachable server address (see Remote Access if peers aren't on your local network) with whoever wants to connect.

Connecting as a peer

1. Go to Settings → Nakama.
2. Enter the host's remote URL.
3. Connect — you'll be able to watch in sync with the host and other connected peers.

Notes

• Nakama sync is best-effort; large latency differences between peers can cause drift.
• Hosting requires your instance to actually be reachable by peers — a purely local (127.0.0.1-bound) server won't work for anyone outside your machine.
