The sync engine
Five homes.
One clock.
Video calls guess. Lodge measures. The server keeps the one true clock, every screen works out how far off it is, and small gaps are closed by speeding up or slowing down so slightly you’d never notice. No jumps, no “wait, go back”.
- < 150 msThe target. Closer than you can hear a laugh echo across a call.
- 0.97–1.03×How gently a screen catches up. A 3% change in speed, invisible to the eye.
- > 2 sOnly then does a screen jump. Once, cleanly, to the right frame.
- 10 sThe countdown before the film starts, so every clock settles before the first frame.

Questions
Asked first
Do guests need an app?
No. They open the link in a browser and type the 6-digit code from their email.
Can we chat?
Send emoji and quick phrases like “pause a sec” onto the picture. For talking, use the call you already use — WhatsApp, FaceTime, Zoom. Lodge keeps the picture in sync.
Can someone save my video?
There’s no download, and only the part you choose is ever sent. Nobody can stop a phone pointed at a screen, so each viewer’s name sits faintly on the picture.
Phones?
Rooms are built for laptop and desktop browsers today. Phones are being tested. The Balcony is desktop Chrome only.
Do you keep my video?
Family videos are deleted 30 days after you upload them. Filmmaker plans keep your film until you delete it.
Got something to watch together?
Lodge is opening to a few hosts at a time while we make sure every first night goes right. Tell us what you want to watch and who with, and a person will reply.
