Just wanted your feedback on something. How valuable is privacy to you? Our architecture is privacy first where we leverage p2p communication rather than a simple server client architecture. Do you rather prefer privacy then sacrificing some feature/quality or is it something just "good to have"?

@sumit_gupta3 Security without good user-friendliness is nothing. Take Signal as an example. Messenger is focused on security. Encrypted communication. Sounds great. We all know that Facebook makes money from advertising and uses Messenger to do it. But as a result, one prefers to use that one because Signal is unfortunately perpetually broken. Sure, some level of security is great, but ultimately it's still based on trust. So in summary, security yes, but only if the app works decently. In my experience, it's sometimes hard to find that line. But I like your solution. Not only your product is good during a pandemic, but also normally when families and friends are away from each other for a long time. That happens often.

@sumit_gupta3 @klavikova Thank you. That's helpful and example is to the point. We internally had debate for the same because for ~1 % of the users, peer-to-peer connections are not working out due to firewall settings. In this case, privacy is no good and we are planning to fallback to traditional client server approach for this use case.

@sumit_gupta3 @piyush_arya2 That's a good approach. I like your thinking. I bet the debate wasn't easy. Piyush, what was the biggest roadblock for you in making the app?

@klavikova Psychologically building the app that is already present in the market was challenging but once we found out gaps in the current players, it becomes very motivating. Technically keeping video players in sync is relatively easy problem in a typical client server model as there is one source of truth. In webRTC peer-to-peer (distributed) system, agreeing to single source of truth was harder than I expected.

The tool has been created by my friends Piyush, Sumit & Bhupendra to support teleparty with major streaming platforms, it even includes YouTube and has video chat feature that works seamlessly. It's so simple to setup and it feels like magic. I hope the PH Community likes it too.

🎄 Hello there! Thanks for stopping by. We have built Flickcall because of my own needs to watch movies & TV shows with friends and family during pandemic. Since then it has grown to 20,000+ users organically. As this holiday season have started, I think its time to introduce it to larger community 🙂. Flickcall is build to give you an experience of watch together remotely. You can talk to your friends, chat, see their reaction all while watching your favorite show together. It is vertically integrated with major streaming platforms like Netflix, Youtube, Hotstar, Primevideo. It is build using privacy in mind using webRTC so that your personal communication is directly delivered to your friends and never reaches (except for few cases) to our servers. If you have already used Teleparty then Flickcall is Teleparty along with video chat. Key Highlights 🆓 No signup required and completely free 🙃 Easy to install & use. No need to pass along usage instructions. 🚀 Supports 5 major streaming platform including Netflix & youtube. 🔥 Supports audio, video & group chat. 🔒 Privacy friendly - Your personal communication is delivered directly to peers instead of routing via servers. Please let us know how important is privacy for you? 💬 Pause & talk feature to engage in seamless conversation. When video content is playing, mic automatically turns off and vice versa. 📺 Supports binge watching across multiple episodes in same party. We hope Flickcall will give you best virtual party experience for the holidays!

@merno0sh Long way to it but on the roadmap. We are planning to expand to more streaming providers like Hulu, HBO followed by mobile webapp support and more apps.

@umama_ashraf one known issue we have seen is when user try to create watch party across country and content is not available in one country or if there are different URL for same content in different countries. We handle this for Hotstar but not yet for primevideo. In other cases it should be fine.

@piyush_arya2 Thanks for taking the time to reply. Means a lot :)
