To take full advantage of Houseparty for Windows, you’ll need to use a phone or tablet. The drawback: Houseparty doesn’t tell you if someone else is recording your conversation, so be careful if you’re chatting with someone you don’t trust-which is good advice under any circumstances, really. The benefit: If someone you want to chat with doesn’t happen to be around, Houseparty makes it simple to record and send them a brief video message-and get a notification when they read it. To control that, you can use the lock button at the bottom of the screen to close the group off. The drawback: You may not want people you don’t know butting into your chat time with friends. That makes it a good way to expand your social circle, like going to a real-life party with one friend you know. You don’t need to plan anything or send anyone an invitation you can instantly join any open group that contains at least one person you’re friends with. But compared with other apps like Zoom, it has a casual, spur-of-the-moment vibe. The benefit: Houseparty for Windows allows groups of up to eight people to chat at once. Though not a completely Wild West-like some other video chat apps, it’s still best to monitor your teen’s use. The features can also be twisted, so that teens can target each other, lock each other out of groups, or take embarrassing screenshots to share on social media. But it’s easy to use with people you don’t know if your friend invites someone.Įven though teens get a notification that someone they don’t know is joining, it doesn’t mean they’ll leave the conversation - and then you don’t know who they’re talking to. When used only with friends, the biggest risk is spending too much time in the app. So, though it does have some cool features that limit a teen’s contact with strangers, parents may want to go over the features and make sure teens know that screenshots are possible, even in locked groups. It’s also possible for users to take screenshots while in a group chat and share them to social media. Push notifications are sent to friends when you open the app. If you want a more private chat, you can “lock” the room so others can’t join. When a person who is not your direct friend enters the chat, an alert is shown, giving you the chance to exit the conversation if you’d like - or meet someone new. Users can share photos via the app, and a messenger feature lets them share their profiles with others, allowing them to make new friends. With one click you can join them or, if they’re already in a chat, you can join that conversation as well. Simply log onto the app and you’ll instantly be connected with any friends who are using it at the same time.
