A common party activity, no matter the social group composing that shindig, is to gather around a computer or a smartphone and share goofy YouTube videos, and the Cabana app brings that joy beyond just in-person parties. The app allows users to play YouTube videos, but its key feature is that multiple users can watch the same video at once, engendering the communal viewing that improves even the dumbest YouTube clip.
With the Cabana app, friends can notify each other and set up a communal chill session. Like Skype video chats or Google Hangouts, the Cabana app lets each of the users stream a video of themselves in these sessions. Users can then play various YouTube clips and watch them together.
