rabb.it is a site allowing people to watch videos together. I got to test it yesterday after DarkHououmon suggested it to me over on the discord server. Basically, it works like this: You create a room (need membership if you're the creator, it's all free and legal!) that others can join (and you can decide whether to make that room private or public). One person has the remote control (which can be switched around if necessary) which means he has access to a virtual browser which can be used like a normal browser. Technically, anything you can do on the internet can be shared there though the main purpose is to watch videos together with (online) friends Besides, there's a chat to communicate with all people in the room! ![]() Among other, we were watching LBT 1 and 14 via Netflix yesterday ![]() Just thought I should share this, might do another session next saturday ![]() PS: Sharing from your computer doesn't seem to be possible which is the only negative thing I have to say about the site. |

That sounds REALLY cool. That would be nice to do sometime. It's like we're watching something together...but we're not really there, next to each other. |

so, are you saying this virtual window is run off the website's server, and just streamed to everyone computer? It probably does that for security reason, since if it was just streaming the host's screen, that could be hacked into, and other people could look at your desktop. sounds very interesting, though.
