Community Guidelines

Effective date: July 9, 2026

Watch It With Me puts you on a couch with strangers. That only works if the couch is a good place to be. These guidelines are the house rules — the terms of service are the legal version; this is the human one.

The short version

Be a good seat-mate. You're watching a movie with real people — treat them like people you're sharing a couch with, because you are.

This is an 18+ space

WIWM is for adults only. Rooms and chats are with strangers, so everyone here must be 18 or older — using the service is you affirming that you are. No exceptions, even with a parent's permission.

Being a good seat-mate

  • Show up. If you join a room, be there — press play with everyone, say hi, react to things. The whole point is company.
  • No spoilers. If you've seen the movie, wonderful — let everyone else have their first time. “Watch this part” is fine. “This is where he dies” is a crime against the room.
  • Match the room's energy. An intimate 1:1 room and a party room are different couches. Read the room; that's why it has a vibe label.
  • Keep private things private. Don't share your personal details or ask for anyone else's. You're here anonymous — that's a feature, not a bug.
  • Swearing is fine. Being cruel isn't. This isn't a politeness filter — it's about who the words are aimed at.

What gets you restricted or banned

  • Harassing, threatening, or bullying anyone.
  • Hate speech, or attacking people for who they are.
  • Sexual comments or advances aimed at other users. Nobody came here for that.
  • Sharing anyone's personal information — or digging for it.
  • Pretending to be someone you're not.
  • Spamming or flooding chat.
  • Anything illegal.
  • Dodging a block, restriction, or ban — including with a fresh account. It resets the clock, not the outcome.

The tools, when you need them

  • Leave. Any room, any time, no explanation owed. If it feels off, go.
  • Block. Tap a name in chat, or manage your blocked list from your account. You two will never be put in a room together again, and they won't be told.
  • Report. Tap a name in any chat, or use the help screen. Reports capture the chat around the moment so we can see what actually happened — and a human reads every one.
  • What happens next. Accounts that rack up reports or blocks from different people get restricted automatically while a human reviews. Depending on what we find: a warning, a restriction, or a ban. If we got it wrong, appeal from your account screen or at hello@watchitwithme.app.

The fine print

The binding rules live in the terms of service, and what we do with your data lives in the privacy policy. If these guidelines and the terms ever disagree, the terms win — but we've tried hard to make sure they never do.
