Keep the jam going.
Host on a laptop with Chrome. Friends join from a phone or computer with the invite link.
Getting started
Follow the installation guide. Log into Instagram in its own tab, return to setup, and choose Start the jam, then Open your jam. No Scroll Party account is needed.
Waiting for the feed
Keep the host laptop awake and Instagram open. Complete login or verification prompts on Instagram itself. If the extension says the feed is paused, reload the Instagram tab when ready. Repeated failures pause requests instead of retrying forever.
Sound or a stuck video
Tap to play or use the audio button. Swipe past a reel that will not load. Phone power-saving settings and background tabs can interrupt playback; return to the jam and tap again.
Getting the latest update
The version in Chrome’s extension details belongs to the host extension, not the website player. They update separately. For playback or audio fixes, reload your Scroll Party jam page on the laptop and every joining phone. Reloading the extension does not update or roll back an open jam page.
For a manual beta extension update, download the latest ZIP from setup, extract it over the same folder Chrome already loads, then use Reload on Scroll Party at chrome://extensions and reload Instagram. Chrome’s Reload button only rereads that local folder; it does not download another version. Keep your existing extension for website-only fixes.
Stopping and reconnecting
Network interruptions reconnect automatically. Stop feeding in the extension leaves already shared reels available and stays stopped after a browser restart. End jam for everyone closes the room. The host can remove a guest from the people list. A server restart or deployment ends beta rooms; start a new jam and share its new link.
