Houseparty is available for Android, Apple iOS, and Google Chrome. This is configured in the settings menu when you first launch the service. A red line will appear above the buttons showing that the commands are turned off.īut if you decide to use this feature in the app, you will need to grant Houseparty access to use your camera and microphone. Additionally, you can turn your camera and microphone off at any time during a chat. You can immediately leave the chatroom by clicking on the exit button and do not need to have your video camera turned on to use Houseparty. But if you decide to add this stranger as a friend, there's a green ‘Add Friend’ button to send friend requests. A notification will appear to let you know that the person that has entered is not your direct friend.

There's another impressive safety feature that happens when an unknown person enters your current chatroom. Any friends of the people that are in an unlocked chat room can join. If you locked a room, then you can click on the lock again to unlock the space. The lock command will block anyone else from joining aside from the people already in the room.

You can click on the lock icon to make the chat room private. An important security setting is the lock feature that's available in the center of your video screen. Safety settings are automatically set up in Houseparty to make the platform safer.
