Meet Meerkat’s new video chat app
Thursday, June 16, 2016 at 9:19PM Meerkat started out strong when it launched its livestreaming app but has since fizzled and been left behind by the giants like Facebook and Twitter. It seems the company is taking a stab at video apps again with Houseparty. The twist, though, is they won’t confirm that they own the app but according to Recode, the app is “definitely theirs.”
Houseparty is a video chat app like FaceTime and Skype that’ll make you available for chatting once you open that app. So, you can jump in and talk to friends who are online or they can talk to you. If they’re already chatting, you can see who they’re talking to and join their conversation. So yes, like at a house party. According to a source close to Meerkat, Houseparty is supposedly already bigger than Meerkat ever was. So it seems this under-the-radar approach to debuting an app is working for them.
