Been 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 would love to know the legal implications of running a service where people are able to stream copyrighted content to others, or to share subscription services like Netflix in violation of its TOS.

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?

We've been using https://team.video for our calls and working sessions in rooms that we hop in and out
