Yes, all participants must have a separate account for the streaming services on which they are planning watch-party.

Flickcall supports the following steaming platform for watch parties with video call.

Yes, starting version 8.5.0, user can create watch party on Jiocinema. To create watch party on Jiocinema, install the extension, play the video and click Flickcall logo at top right to start party.

Zoom, Hangout and other such services enable watch-parties by streaming the screen of the host to all participants. These services degrade quality of video & audio in doing so. On the other hand, Flickcall will sync the playback over the original content(HD/4k) in native streaming platform. This leads to no loss in quality.

The best analogy will be watching a cam rip version (zoom, hangout, discord) vs original 4k (Flickcall) of a movie.

Yes, Flickcall fully supports Hotstar watch party for movies, TV shows & live matches. However, smart mic feature is disabled for live matches as pausing a live match doesn't make sense.

Flickcall supports binge-watching, meaning you need to create party once and the videos will be synced even across the multiple episodes. Nothing better than spending weekends watching your favorite shows with your loved ones and eating popcorn at the comfort of your home.

You can enjoy the full playlist on Youtube in a single watch-party. Not only that, participants can switch to a different video during the party and it will start playing for everyone. It is like a perfect remote DJ.

Yes, Flickcall is perfectly safe and privacy friendly by design. Your chats never reach our servers, so never stored. We use p2p technology to deliver personal communication directly to the intended recipient instead of routing it via our server. Similarly video call streams are end-to-end encrypted.

While other service providers collect chat and later delete, we never route it via our servers at first place. However, in some cases where p2p connection is blocked, messages are routed via by our servers using secure encryption.
