Why Should One Make a Video Chat app like Houseparty As a Startup?

People are loving the features this video calling app provides to stay connected. The app provides a more personal and social experience.
According to TechCrunch, Houseparty is mostly popular among Gen Z and rapidly growing in parts of Europe and elsewhere. For people who love to do virtual live house parties and play in-app games, Houseparty has come out as a savior in these chaotic times.
Houseparty ranked number 7 in Apple App Store for free apps- One slot- ahead of word’s most dominant social network Facebook.
How Does Houseparty App Work?
Basically the app allows you to connect and video chat with 8 people at a time. It’s not like a Zoom and other conferencing apps where many people could join the conference and have a business conversation. Zoom is the best app for a conference video call but Houseparty is a more of a social and fun app.
A simple registration process allows any person with a minimum of 13 years of age to register in the app and allow them to connect through the video calls. The app is not for the public video chat, instead it allows video calls to users who are in their contact list.
The concept behind the app is to make people feel like they are going to a party. A virtual party actually! As soon as you open the app, your friends will be alerted that you are into “the house party”. So that they could also join the party and meet you face to face in a video app. If you are making a call to multiple family members or friends, the app splits the screen so that everyone on the call could easily talk to you. Apart from that, the app also offers secret chat room options through which you can invite your friends by sending a text link. The app not only allows you to meet your favorite people online but you can also play popular games like a Heads up! Trivia, Chip and Guac, and word race, quick draw, and more.
