Hi @specialist!
Thank you so much for trying it out and your kind words.
Super happy to know that you could relate to the product and use it with your mom. There's some god news for you, we are looking at some basic games also to be included as an activity probably to collaborate/hang out with your friends and family.
hahaha. Cat videos are low risk videos to put for demo vids on internet, hence the link :P
Co-Watch indicators:
For participants: Need to click on Go-live button and allow mic & cam permissions to initiate the video hangout on top of the video you are co-watching with.
For viewers/audience: The live view count indicates the number of people currently watching the stream without participating / clicking on Go-live' button but is there to just listen to you guys or watch the video. (the live count indicator needs some work though)
Please note: When we say audience, the link is always only available with you and only the people whom you share this link with can join the chat or watch it.
As of now you may just copy paste the the Volcano URL and share it with mom using your regular medium of chat with here like iMessage/whatsapp/email.
This is great feedback. We are working on a mobile solution and will be available on iOS & Android soon along with Apple TV & Chromecast features. Please say hi at founders@volcano.social and we will make sure that you will be in the first list of users when we release it.
Awesome! The same can be used for most Youtube, Twitch & Vimeo videos too. To easily to do it, you may use our Chrome plugin (https://vlca.no/chrome) or the page (https://volcano.live/embed/home) where you create co-watching links by pasting the original video URL.
Point noted, let us look into the Tiktok options here and get back to you.
Once again, thank you for your valuable feedback. :)
Cheers!
