This is great. Been looking for a way to create a "virtual water cooler" for our team as we move 40+ people remote. Does the room always exist, and people can hop in and out? What's the business model? IE how can we pay for the service/support the mission?

#82I suggest removing the NES/SNES emulator part as it will cause Nintendo to send you a Cease and Desist letter. Or probably more.
If he's not hosting copyrighted ROMs himself, then it should be fine. Sony couldn't beat Bleem! in court: https://v1.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/video-games/is...
They are the product of reverse engineering of proprietary schematics/designs/programs.

Which platform? It might also depend on the content, hmmm.
I'm not sure I should share my secrets now lol. But the answer is linux. I haven't tried screensharing before. But I have tried with other DRM stuff and it got blocked. So I wouldn't be surprised if this was a fluke. Definitely makes making memes easier though.

#86On an iPad screen sharing did not work for me. Not that is was expecting that it would.

#88Been developing this platform for over a year. It allows you to create virtual rooms where you can chat with room members using webcam and microphone and run realtime apps that include: - Screensharing(useful for e.g. Netflix) - Cowatching video player - SNES and NES Emulators - Virtual cardtable - Poker with Playmoney - Quake 3 in-browser! - Synced YouTube player and many more coming.
I started a room, then started a video chat in it. Is there a way to do something else (e.g. play poker) without having to create a new room?

#90This is pretty cool - I'm wondering what like, makes it different than just having a zoom call or something on discord? I can tell it's different I just don't know how to articulate it and I'm curious how you'd differentiate it from other ways to hang out online? Looks really cool!
I would say the difference lies in the ability to start interactive apps in addition to chatting/communicating
