How to Sync Views on YouTube
At times, you may be watching a YouTube video on two devices and wish the playback view was synced down to the exact second. Playing YouTube videos on two different screens or devices is sometimes necessary, especially if you and your friends want to see the same video simultaneously. YouTube doesn't provide an automatic sync process between multiple devices, so you will have to sync the playback views manually.

Press the "Play" button for the video on both devices. If it helps, have one of your friends control one device while you control the other. In that case, do a simple countdown from three to zero, hitting the "Play" at the zero mark. The YouTube video is now in sync on both devices, including the moving images and audio soundtrack.
