You can also directly invite friends from Facebook, Google+, Pinterest, Reddit, Tumbler, Twitter, Digg, and VK. It also allows you to video chat with friends, though this option didn’t work for me.
Once your friends join your room, you can start watching YouTube videos together. For watching a video together, you need to paste the URL of any YouTube video in the space provided for it on the website. You can directly search for any video from this website itself. It also allows you to create playlist, Shuffle playlist, view history, etc. Along with YouTube you can also choose to watch videos on Vimeo, Twitch, Dailymotion, Amazon, etc.

ShareTube
Update 2022: This website no longer exists now. We recommend you to try some other alternative instead.
Share Tube is yet another website to watch YouTube videos together with friends. There is no need to login for using it as well; you can start by entering a name for your room. Then you need to choose a username for yourself to start using this web application. It only supports YouTube videos.

Anyone who joins your room will be able to watch YouTube videos together with you. You also get to chat with them on this website. You can search for YouTube videos directly from your room.
Lets Gaze
Lets Gaze is last website in this list to watch YouTube videos simultaneously with people away from you. It is a very simple website with very limited features, yet it does the job here. On visiting the website, you can start by inviting someone with a unique URL generated by the website, or your can invite with Facebook or Email. As soon as your friend opens that Unique URL, you are asked to enter the link of YouTube video you want to watch, or you can also watch any offline video (if you both have that video on your computers).
Once you enter the YouTube Link, the video playback starts on both your and your friend’s PC. It doesn’t support Chat or Playlist features like other previous websites do. Only YouTube videos are supported by this website. While all the other websites from the list allows inviting more than one person, Lets Gaze only allows you to watch a video with one friend only.
Verdict:
All these websites work very well for watching YouTube videos together with people who are not with you at the moment. However, my personal favorite here is Watch2Gether as it not only allows multiple people to enter your room and watch YouTube videos together but also allows you to watch videos from most of the common video streaming platforms.
If you are looking to keep things simple and only watch YouTube video with someone special and more privately, then you can surely go for Lets Gaze.
