March 2026 - Syncplay

Syncplay Download links (hosted by GitHub):

Windows
- Windows installer (store settings in %APPDATA%)
- Windows portable (store settings in Syncplay folder)
- Note for Windows users: DO NOT RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR ON WINDOWS 11 AS THIS CAN CAUSE UI ISSUES (SEE #623 AND #634)!
Linux
- Linux Deb P ackage
- Linux Deb Server-only Package
- Linux Tarball (see installation instructions if you don’t know how to sudo make install)
MacOS
- MacOS (version 15+) disk image

Notes:

If Syncplay does not load on Windows then you probably need to install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistribuble Package (Download the 32-bit version, i.e. ‘vc_redist.x86.exe’). If it still doesn’t work then download the client console option bundle and run SyncplayConsole.exe for a command line interface for Syncplay.
