Tumblr has launched a new app allowing groups of friends to simultaneously video chat and watch YouTube videos together in sync. The app replicates sharing a video with friends whilst in the same room. Users are notified of friends beginning a broadcast, and up to six friends can hang out in a ‘room’. While social media allows content sharing, Cabana fills the gap for co-viewing with others, and experiencing their reactions in real-time. The app has no relation to the Tumblr blogging platform, and picks up user’s contacts from their address book.
Want to watch your friends react to dog videos? There’s an app for that!
