Hi everyone! Firstly, big thanks to @robjama for the hunt and @cpollo01 for the advice. We’ve been working on &chill, it's a website where you can watch YouTube and Twitch live streams with people. We wrote a bit of a backstory here. We’ve set up a room just for you Hunters; come watch some product videos over at producthunt.andchill.tv. Or if you're up for a laugh, we got you - lol.andchill.tv. Need some inspiration? Check out - interesting.andchill.tv. Right now we’re working on automating these rooms so there are new videos every day. We’d love to hear what you think. - Ed & Dylan

@edwardsansom @robjama @cpollo01 Any plans to let room creators decorate/customise their rooms and interact with other viewers 1-2-1 (IM)? What other stuff is coming soon?

@mattnavarra Hey Matt, yep totally. We worked with G2 Esports to create a room for the staff and fans to watch their team compete. Check out g2esports.andchill.tv. It was a one off concept but we got some really great feedback from it. At the moment people can voice chat to each other if they’re sitting in the same row and text chat to talk to anyone in the room. Expanding on this we think it’d be pretty cool to see what your friends are watching, so we’re looking to add some more social features for 1:1 interaction between people. We’re also looking into automating some of the content, as well as maybe opening up an API. Thanks!

@edwardsansom nice work and there seems to be something here. What's the monetization strategy beyond advertising?

Me and @suzywillow are big fans of Netflix Party, but that only supports Netflix (as you might assume). Clever move with the subdomains, @edwardsansom. 😊

@rrhoover @suzywillow @edwardsansom Yeah, you kinda paint yourself into a corner with that "Netflix Party" moniker. ...&chill works and is expansive and fun. "Netflix Party" might also find itself the recipient of a cease & desist letter in the future from @reedhastings ' legal team. 😱

@rrhoover i got the exact same feeling about turntable. @edwardsansom congrats on building a really cool product. are you thinking about incorporating any features that will help with the live problem -- i.e., the experience is only as good as having people on it? public rooms is a one good solution to address it (which you've implemented). thinking of others? Is there an opportunity for a follow graph either at the user level, or maybe the video topic level? I could totally see wanting to watch, say, a ted talk or a programming tutorial at the same time others were watching and to opine or ask others questions (even if i didn't already know the people).

I was trying to stream Youtube video in a room at 11PM, but no matter what link or what form of YT link I pasted in it keeps telling me it cannot find the video. Does this problem only occur at night?

@vudangbaovy We're getting loads of traffic since the lockdowns across the globe, and our YouTube API quota is being thrashed. We're working on an updated version of the site to help fix this, but for the time being it will likely exceed the quota on a daily basis. Sorry about that!

@vudangbaovy @dylanjnz Glad I am not the only one having this issue! Any advice on best times to go on? I am playing a watch party on Sunday.

Love it! With major companies working on VR, do you intend to get into the game as well? Or do you intend to keep it simple? (It could be fun :D)

@tsunaze Hey, we do have some ideas around VR functionality, but currently we're just trying to gauge feedback on the cinema layout to see how much value people get out of it. Thanks for asking!
