As the Coronavirus-led mandatory lockdowns have put the population of several countries around the world indoors, people are now relying more on apps and online services for their daily needs. Personally speaking, I miss hanging out with my friends, watching something cool online, and discussing random topics. Well, for the “watching together” part, earlier we featured a Google Chrome extension to watch Netflix while in a video call. Now, we have found a mobile app to stream content and watch it together with friends or family over a video conference.
I downloaded the app on my iPhone X and it came for about 128MB. So, after the installation, I opened the app and did have to set up my account with my phone number. And after giving the necessary permissions, the app was ready to go.
Now, after setting up the app, you will be given a public room of your own by default. However, there is also the option of creating private rooms. The difference between the “Party” room and the “Private” room is that, in “Party” rooms, any of your friends using the app can join the rooms and this gives access to the room to their friends too. While in “Private” rooms, only those users will be able to join who are invited by you personally.
So, create a room in “Airtime”, follow the steps below:
Sharing YouTube Videos with Other Members
Now, after creating the room, you and your friends can open it anytime and “signal” other members to come and hang out together. In the room, you can text, send animated stickers and sound reactions, watch YouTube videos, and even watch Twitch streams together.
Get “Airtime” from the App Store.
