A social platform to hang out with friends

Lobby is a free social application made by Lobby Universe Inc. for mobile devices. This social media platform lets users come together with their friends and have a virtual hangout. With it, they can do group video calls and engage in singing, watching videos, and others.

Similar to the concept of Zoom Meetings, Lobby makes it easy to keep in touch with anyone through online video calls. While the former is geared toward businesses, the latter encourages socializing and interactions through a chill and relaxing environment, and the various fun and engaging activities it offers.

Another way to hangout

Social media has been a great way to connect(or reconnect) with friends and other people. Through it, you can comment and share each other’s posts, and communicate via chat. While that is great and all, you might find that you want more than the simple, momentary interactions you get, and this is where newer platforms such as Lobby come into to offer an alternative or new medium.

This app makes communicating with friends more interactive and engaging. It does this by first ditching messages and transitioning over to video calls for better communication in real-time. It then provides various options and features to support this. You can listen to music or watch videos together with your friends. Taking cues from other video conferencing apps, you can even share your screen and show what you’re doing.

You also get notified whenever one of your friends is online and available to hang out. One thing that could be addressed in future updates would be the connection issues with regards to logging into the app itself and when pairing and using Bluetooth devices with it. Apart from these, everything has been working as it should—which is great and reliable.

Just keeping it chill

If you’re looking for a new way to be able to interact with your friends online, Lobby is a great social platform that is worth checking out. It’s easy to use, works well, and offers various features that help encourage fun interactions. It can also be a place to meet new people which is always a good and welcome thing. Recommended.
