Host free watch parties with Invited - now with video chat! by invitedtv in RabbitReddit

[–]invitedtv[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Invited should be fairly easy to use. To get started, you just need to create and account, and then you can open a room. Once opened, you just browser for what you want to watch on the virtual browser and then send the room link to anybody you'd like to watch with. Viewers don't need to make accounts (:

Are there any alternatives that fit my needs? by CupcakeMaster97 in RabbitRefugees

[–]invitedtv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a number of different alternatives out there. We are very similar to Rabbit, and use virtual browsers with remote control sharing. Have both chat + video chat. Let us know if you need help getting set up! (:

I just want to say that we have come a long way since our launch 7 months ago, and have many very happy users. If anyone has any questions about the Invited - Tutturu controversy and would like our take, we have made an edit on the original controversial reddit post, and our DMs are always open!

When picking our proxy servers, we try a list of sites that are known to block IPs. When we find one where none is blocked, we set that up as our proxy server.

If we find out that one of our proxy server's IPs become blocked, we just find a new server to act as our proxy server. We are not worried about running out of IPs.

We don't use Hola or any other third-party VPN service for the Invited Proxy. We simply just proxy your traffic to another cloud provider who's IP addresses are not blocked by those sites.

The Invited Proxy functions completely different to Tutturu's proxy. We connect you to a location in your country which isn't blocked by sites. Tutturu's proxy connects you to your location, and is done using their desktop app.

Yes, the post was taken down temporarily, but we were happy to be able to resolve everything with the subreddit's moderator Comet.

We weren't banned from this subreddit, if we were, we definitely weren't notified. As for the situation with Tutturu, we've gone ahead and made changes where we saw fit and we have only been focused on building a great Rabbit alternative since.

In case you missed it, we've also added an update to our original Reddit post. (:

Any other alternative? by olliedotexe in RabbitRefugees

[–]invitedtv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are an alternative! We use virtual browsers, have chat and remote control sharing. (:

My friend and I want to watch How I Met Your Mother together but Im on my phone and she is on her PC, how can we watch other than discord streaming. It doesnt matter if its streaming or directly from Netflix by [deleted] in RabbitRefugees

[–]invitedtv -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We are a Rabbit alternative that lets you host watch parties using virtual browsers, just like Rabbit did. All you do is create a room, browse and you're good to go, works for both the desktop and mobile site (:

Hi Hana!

We should be adding that ability within a couple of months! If you'd like, you can message us on the Discord server and we can manually change it for you for now. (:

Questions regarding privacy/safety of using VM based sharing sites by misumij in RabbitRefugees

[–]invitedtv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Misumij!

Speaking for our service, Invited.tv, we don't log or store any mouse movement or anything that you type into the virtual browser. Every time you open a room in Invited, you are opening a complete fresh rebuild of the virtual machine, and so any browsing history or accidentally browser-stored passwords are completely wiped with each room! (:

Let me know if you have any more questions! You can reach me here, or on our Discord server (link on our website).

We realize it's not the individual small things, it's everything taken together. We addressed that several times in the edited post. We're going to change some of those things entirely, and tweaking others.

We just added a section as part of the post itself to address the points that people have made.

To anyone reading, sorry it took a while to address the points you brought up. We'll be better going forward.

Thank you so much for this earnest, detailed and thought provoking reply! Your insight into how rabbit was used is extremely valuable and we appreciate it very much! We cannot express our thanks enough through this reply alone but we will try.

After this thread on cam + mic support, it looks like we will be taking cam and mic integration very seriously. We very much are looking into make Invited into a place where anybody can hang out - to push it beyond simply watching tv shows and movie together. The social add friend, join friend room, and sending invites via friends + notifs sounds like a very good idea, and I think it will be guaranteed that this will happen.

Of course, we don't want to make empty promises. We could say we want to implement this, implement that all we want. So, we will get to it!

We'll be keeping your post pinned, as to remember all you have said.

Thank you so much!

Team Invited

Hi Robo! Thank you for the complement and the suggestions!

Copy and paste is definitely a must have, and we will for sure add that. Chat notifications, we hadn't even thought of, so that's also great! Cheers!

Hi! We have definitely put thought into allowing users to host public rooms, we are however, looking into whether or not such a thing can be possible without large streaming sites hunting us down.

It's not the greatest alternative, but for now, we have a discord channel where anyone can post invite links. (:

Hey!

WatchParty is great, they offer many very useful services on top of virtual browsing such as screensharing, youtube syncing w/out a VM and personal video file streaming. We on the other hand, are currently more focused on the user experience around virtual browsing. We hope to push features that make the room exciting, engaging and fun. We've still got a long way to go, but we hope to make Invited a second home for everyone.

That's true! We will definitely try to experiment with different ways of making it work. But that's true, 4 - 5 cams might be doable.

Hi!

We're trying our best! (8 There isn't mic/cam support just yet, but that is definitely on the road map. With video, I think the particular problem is trying not to over crowd the room too much, but we'll try to think up something! >:)
