What’s in CINQ?

Watch Party.

Watch parties

Watch in sync on the services you already have.

Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max, Disney+, Hulu, Apple TV and more. On a computer with the CINQ extension, in Chrome or Edge, the host presses play once and every player in the party follows to the second, pause and scrub included, with video and chat beside the film.

One watch party on two laptops, the host's and Theo's across town, both at 21:14 in the same scene on Apple TV
  • A CINQ video call to June on a phone: your camera fills the screen while it rings, with mute, camera, speaker and the red Leave button
    The same call pulled down to a small Calling tile in the corner, over the chat with June

    Video calls

    Video calls that follow you around.

    Call a friend from any chat. Drag your own picture to any corner, pull the call down to a floating tile, and keep using CINQ while you talk.

Roulette.

Watch with someone new.

Say what you're in the mood for and CINQ pairs you with someone who wants the same, one to one. Camera and mic start off, and Report or Block ends it at once.

Dating.

It's a CINQ.

Dating that starts with taste. When you both say yes, you see the films you both want to watch, and the first date can be one of them.

Opt-in, and 18+ only.

It's a CINQ: you and June both said yes, and you both want to see Paris, Texas

Watch dates

Plan a watch.

Pick a film and a night with your match. You both get a reminder, and the party opens 30 minutes before.

Personal Stats.

What your watching says about you.

Your profile turns what you watch into a read on you: the genre you live in, how generous a critic you are, your hours in the dark, your favourite era and how fast you get through things. Friends can like it.
