About Unaruni: how it works and its limits
Unaruni lets you watch your own movies and videos together in a private room, even from different cities. This page explains how rooms work, which videos are supported and what the limits are. For a step-by-step guide, see the FAQ.
Create a roomHow a room works
1. Host
signs in, creates a room and adds a video.
2. Guests
join by invitation: a link or a short code, no account needed.
3. Up to 10 people
per room.
4. 6 hours
the room closes 6 hours after creation and the uploaded file is deleted.
Who it's for
Long-distance couples
A movie night for two, even when you're in different cities.
Family
Show relatives the video from the celebration without sending everyone a huge file.
Friends
Watch your own movie or a trip video together and react in chat.
Teams
Review a recorded presentation or webinar, up to 10 people per room.
Which videos work
Your own MP4, MOV, M4V, WebM and MKV files, up to 1 GB and 120 minutes. Each file is prepared for browser playback; very heavy videos may fail processing. You can also add a link to YouTube, Vimeo, VK Video or RUTUBE if the owner allows embedding; some videos may be unavailable in certain regions. There is no movie catalogue — only upload what you have the right to show.
Sync and its limits
The host controls the player: play, pause and seeking are passed on to everyone. Guests' positions are checked automatically, and anyone who falls noticeably behind jumps to the shared moment. Video quality does not adapt to connection speed, so a guest may skip part of the video while buffering. More on how watching videos together works.
