I'm into this. :) I know you've been beta testing this so it's early but curious what use cases are emerging so far, @billychasen?

@billychasen @rrhoover Ones I've personally used it for are the classic (watching YT, Netflix, etc) together (typically small groups) I see potential for this to touch 'private screenings' of products/videos and demo days as well. I think the default on push-to-talk is really valuable.

@rrhoover yes thanks! multiple people mentioned wanting to watch sports together and also use it for old school DJ parties :D There's some dance moves in the app to help support the latter! Browsing youtube with friends is the most obvious one.

Very interesting Billy. Getting some Turntable vibes with the avatars and stage setting! How are you handling latency? All the major sports streaming players are launching "watch together" features, so I can see a huge opportunity in this, even post covid lockdowns. With live streams, latency is crucial so curious to know how you handle that. Far too many games have been ruined by group chats announcing a score 10 seconds before I get to see it!

@willpmartin Thanks! Live stream latency could definitely become an issue and I haven't tried to fully solve it yet. I essentially say to all people "play this now." So playing should be near instantaneous, but individual internet connections could potentially change the timing.

Turntable, Chill, and FlickMob were pioneers, ahead of its time! The VR room approach is an interesting angle, curious to see if it can eat some of FB Watch Party’s lunch.

Awesome app! I've been dreaming about collaborative online watching since 2012. But I've never thought about a voice chat in it. And the virtual theater idea is wonderful. I very like the idea of sharing sessions via links. Great job! I only can say that in my opinion, the sign-up menu requires a few touches. Also, it will be great to have support for Android and other desktop OS besides macOS.

Amazing idea! Are you planning to add support for other operating systems too?

@fillerink I'd love to, but it depends on traction. I need to first make sure people are using it before taking the time to get onto Android and Windows
