?makers Any chance we could make our own usernames? I can't see anywhere to do that and I am not "weathered Jay".
@mike_cleveland I'll working on adding login options so that you can sign in and set your own usernames!
@mike_cleveland Make sure you're following Campfire on Twitter for updates! https://twitter.com/meetcampfire
Hey @mike_cleveland ๐ You can now create an account on Campfire and set your username. Enjoy!
?makers Thank you Stefan. Can you tell me if there is a maximum number of people who can watch? Hopefully you can answer within the next 30 mintues as we're having a big party :)
@mike_cleveland apologies for not getting to you in time, hopefully you tried it out! There's no limit, no :)
@animify Thank you for getting back to me Stefan. Unfortunately we needed to use Youtube Fiesta yesterday because when we signed up with Campfire we couldn't figure out a way to keep from letting just anyone who attended change the video. If there is a way for only the host to control the video then we missed it. Can you imagine with several hundred people in a party the damage that could be done if even 2 or 3 characters decided to start changing the videos. We probably missed the button to click that would only allow the host to control the video, but we just couldn't find it.
@mike_cleveland Indeed this could be a bit more obvious. However, the owner of the party has a settings icon next to the icon, allowing them to change several permissions related to the party (including adding videos to the playlist). Will work on surfacing this a bit better!

@rrhoover fixed! Seems like the video at the time was live and became private. Thanks!
From the outside looking in, I'm excited for this. I hope it runs better than, say, a big Zoom party with someone screen sharing.
@thomasgalatas appreciate it Thomas, all the positive feedback also makes it super exciting for me. I can definitely see screen sharing being a great asset to Campfire!
@carlabarokas yes! Live streams should work fine, although there might be some issues when trying to seek back into a live stream. This seems to be an issue with the YouTube embed though!
Watching movies with friends over zoom is less than optimal. I would use this! Especially now.
@gabriel_bloch awesome! Did you share screens whilst on Zoom? Definitely could be a neat addition to Campfire :)
Really cool idea! Makes a great product for spending time with long distance friends and family
@minty_fresh1 ๐ฏ! We use it with long distance friends all the time to feel connected!
@rohit_jogi thanks! You can add videos by Youtube, Facebook, Twitch & Soundcloud urls for now - more coming soon!
Thanks @theberrysauce! Hope you're liking the simplicity behind Campfire!
