Houseparty 1.5 - Live video chat with friends, now with groups and texting 🎉

by•

Houseparty 1.5 is FaceTime for groups. Now you can make guest lists, name your groups, and group chat away (pro tip: you can even buzz the guest list all at once). Pretend keeping your social circles separate in real life is as easy as separate Houseparty rooms.

Houseparty just introduced groups, turning the platform into more of a permanent channel for communication. Now friends (up to 16 per party) can start to continue a conversation beyond its initial formation. I'm part of some Facebook Groups that have existed for 3+ years. This evolution and the addition of texting makes a ton of sense and will help build out Houseparty's social group. Meanwhile, Facebook's already introduced a Houseparty-like video chat feature and rumored to release a similar standalone app called Bonfire (h/t @caseynewton).

Congrats on the new release, @benrbn (et al.)! Group management felt like a bit of a missing piece to me, so this is a very welcome update. Texting seems like a smart engagement hook, too - looking forward to digging around some more!

Can't imagine the noise level if everyone is talking. Most of my friends are camera-shy but I will definitely check it out

Pros:

16 is an amazing number for a party. Congrats!

Cons:

Can the organizer mute someone?

I really like having fun in the backyard too, so at some point I decided to create a perfect place for relaxation here. And since it's a place for relaxation, I had to put the amount of needed my work here to the minimum. That was the time when I called for fake grass installers and they put fake grass all over my yard. It's great because now I don't need a lawnmower at all!
