Great find, it aligns with the rest of my stack too so I might find myself experimenting with that.

Twilio's API offers an abstraction on top of WebRTC that handles the peer connections etc. So my interaction is more with Twilio's API than WebRTC directly. Thanks! It's definitely a struggle of mine. It's more comfortab

Thank you, that's a very interesting suggestion. I haven't heard that one yet. I like the idea of putting more options behind the shuffling, it could make it more engaging and offer focused-but-not-forced random encounters.

You got it!

@mmcclure is right. This uses WebRTC and is currently in peer mode. As soon as I start allowing more than 4 people per room that might cause some performance issues, I’ll need to monitor that. As it stands now there is a hard cost, but it i

That’s definitely a common request today — I’ll get that done!

I couldn’t agree more! These rooms are capped at 4 people max per room, but you can configure it to go down to as small as 2 people per room. To keep the conversation flowing better.

Cool! I'm looking for any and all feedback when you give it a go!

Thank you! That's good feedback on the Zoom breakout rooms – it is more aimed toward the enterprise but I was thinking something like this might also be useful for workshops where you want to disperse people at those regular intervals.

You're so right. I have a long history of building things and then struggling to getting them to market. It's definitely a weak area for me. Right now I'm trying to get the word out there and get as much user feedback as poss

I went with random mixing to add a little variety to the experience. I know personally when I'm at a party I get stuck in a rut and end up talking to the same people over and over. A tool like this where you're warned when you&#x2

Nice! I like that you create parties for anonymous users – that's been in my backlog but I haven't devoted the time to allowing totally anonymous party creation yet. I'll have to take a look at Jitsi – I've been using Tw

That looks really neat, thanks for sharing!

Great idea! Being able to choose the rooms you enter or leave could be a good way to help make the party more organic.

Awesome! I'd love to hear how it works for you all and any feedback you might have.

Thanks! I'm using Twilio's Programmable Video API https://www.twilio.com/docs/video so there is a cost, but it's not a pre-provisioned service so it's manageable.

I got pretty tired of virtual happy hours and social events where there were people I was socially-adjacent to, but not very familiar with that I kept talking over. I've been working on https://mixaba.com to help solve that
