As working from home has slowly become a new norm in the professional world, many video chatting platforms such as Zoom, Google Meet, Skype and FaceTime have become essential tools in many people's professional life. 

While all these video chatting platforms are great for connecting with friends and colleagues, none has the entertainment feature that Houseparty has. Not only does Houseparty have the group video chatting function, the app also provides games that users can play together while chatting. 

What also sets Houseparty apart from most other real time video chat platforms is its simplicity. Signing up requires only your name, email, birthday, and a cell phone number to which a confirmation code can be sent to. You can also change your Houseparty name any time if you want to make yourself easier to be found by others.
