Video chat platform Houseparty is now the number one app in the iOS store in Australia, Canada, and the U.K.
- Houseparty is a FaceTime meets Zoom meets trivia–style app that’s been blowing up since the global coronavirus pandemic forced millions into isolation.
- Houseparty lets you chat with eight people at a time, but it reshuffles the screen every time people enter or leave and often obscures the screen with trivia questions.
- Shares in Zoom, a popular video calling platform, are up 117% over the past three months. Zoom has been embraced across sectors, from education to fitness, with Zoom lessons, Zoom yoga, Zoom book clubs, and more.
- Shaverin doesn’t see the app as a replacement for Zoom, but as a more laid-back alternative.
