Browse and watch YouTube videos together with friends. Create a party in one click. No signup. No ads. 100% free. Twitch, Facebook and Soundcloud coming soon.
Hey everyone 👋
A couple of months ago, I came up with the first iteration of Campfire after my friends and I needed a quick and lightweight way to watch videos together online, all whilst we spent a lot more time at home in these strange times.
Other similar platforms seemed so cluttered and were always distracting us from the main content, the video itself. As a result, I kept building upon Campfire to include a couple more features whilst maintaining its simplicity at its core.
What is at the core of Campfire?
👻 Fully anonymous viewing, we collect no data from you
💬 An unlimited history of party chat and activity
🍿 Invite your friends in seconds, just copy & send the link
🎬 Search, add and manage videos at a press of a key
🕵️ Manage party permissions for all users
🧘♀️ Play, pause and seek - all in sync
⛺️ Immerse yourself with Cinema mode & more
Campfire is, and will always be 100% free + ad-free.
Thank you and I hope you enjoy Campfire as much as we do everyday! Looking forward to hear your thoughts and suggestions on what you'd like to see next.
@carlabarokas yes! Live streams should work fine, although there might be some issues when trying to seek back into a live stream. This seems to be an issue with the YouTube embed though!
?makers Thank you Stefan. Can you tell me if there is a maximum number of people who can watch? Hopefully you can answer within the next 30 mintues as we're having a big party :)
@animify Thank you for getting back to me Stefan. Unfortunately we needed to use Youtube Fiesta yesterday because when we signed up with Campfire we couldn't figure out a way to keep from letting just anyone who attended change the video. If there is a way for only the host to control the video then we missed it. Can you imagine with several hundred people in a party the damage that could be done if even 2 or 3 characters decided to start changing the videos. We probably missed the button to click that would only allow the host to control the video, but we just couldn't find it.
@mike_cleveland Indeed this could be a bit more obvious. However, the owner of the party has a settings icon next to the icon, allowing them to change several permissions related to the party (including adding videos to the playlist). Will work on surfacing this a bit better!
@thomasgalatas appreciate it Thomas, all the positive feedback also makes it super exciting for me. I can definitely see screen sharing being a great asset to Campfire!
