rabb.it alternative
HELLO YES I have found an actual good solution to our dearly departed rabb.it!
It is.... *drumroll*...
Discord screen sharing!
I think most people have Discord nowadays (and if you don’t, get it, it is eight million times better than Skype and requires way less personal information)
If you have a chat of up to 9 members, just hit that video call button
After the call starts, hit the “Screen Share” icon
Click the “Application Window” tab, then select the window that has Netflix/Hulu/Youtube/whatever open
Make sure that the “sound” toggle is on so that people can hear the sound playing in that window
And then once it’s shared, just pull up your Netflix/Youtube/whatever window up and press play!
Only that window will be shared, so you can go back to the Discord window and chat with people without interrupting the video. You can voice chat over it as well, if you want!
The highest video settings without Nitro are 30fps, but when I tested it the video and audio were both pretty good. Better than rabbit, according to the friend I was testing it with. :D
The only drawback I’ve found is this:
But overall, it seems like this is the best option compared to the limited rabbit alternatives I’ve tested so far.
Go forth and watch stuff together!
