We believe since we limit it to a handful of friends, and netflix doesn't prosecute users who share with friends, this flies under fair use. If we let people broadcast freely to millions, I could see how it would cut into revenues.
Currently, vidshared streaming would be lower bandwidth than the high res netflix streams, so I believe this can work like a viral marketing strategy for them: their customers can share and sell it to their friends actively now. I could be wrong though :) If any streaming service wants us to remove support, let us know!
Share your netflix/hbogo/youtube with up to 5 friends even if they don't own an account.
The host requires a fairly good graphics card to stream the screen, netflix, and videorooms. Viewers can run on simple laptops without owning the streaming service. If you own a streaming service and would like us to add support, it can work like a viral marketing strategy, since your customers would share and sell your service for you. If they want the full experience or to become hosts themselves, they can purchase it.
I appreciate any feedback, bug reports, or requests to support streaming services.
When I proposed this to nVidia engineers, fairly high up, they argued that if humans could do it with two eyes, they could do it in 3 years. It's now 5 years later.
It's understandable to be biased against admitting a mistake, most people are, but eventually most see objective reason.
There's a monthly and yearly, but likely we'll end up charging less for this when it actually launches. How much would be appropriate like $2/m? We want to make the video rooms free up to 6 people, and only charge for developing extra premium games.
A partnership would be great, since we could cross promote, and I'm sure a lot of people are looking to try new games.
We'd recommend checking out Janus webrtc. It worked well for us, and will work on mobile/firefox. We've used it for years, and it's well developed. Video rooms up to 6 people too, so you could have more options for games
