While Houseparty's In The House event features plenty of well-known artists, tuning in and watching live requires an understanding of how the service works. Although Houseparty might not be the first service that comes to mind when thinking of watching live events, that might change in the future if more events like this take place on the platform. That is, if people enjoy watching content together, remotely, and once they are not living under a COVID-19 lockdown order.
In The House brings together celebrities from a wide range of different demographics. There will be a surprising number of cooking tutorials from the likes of hip hop star 2 Chainz and professionals, like Chef Mike, and the event will also feature dance and fitness sessions, including Brooklyn Nine-Nine's Terry Crews. In addition, there will also be some intimate musical performances from the likes of John Legend and Alicia Keys. The entire events runs throughout the weekend with a different artist due to take to the stage roughly every thirty minutes.
Houseparty has enjoyed a variety of casual games like Heads Up and Quick Draw! However, the use of the platform for events like In The House could not only see the app gain new s, but also new use cases, and especially while people remain encouraged to stay home.
How To Access Houseparty's In The House
Houseparty has already experimented with live events, albeit nothing on this scale. Many of the featured guests will be hanging out in the app with their fans and like any other live Houseparty events, In the House is simple to attend, if you know how. The main point to be aware of is Houseparty is an app designed for group chats and as a result s won't be able to just watch the live streams. Instead, they'll have to already be in a Houseparty group chat. From there, the only needs to tap on the television icon that will appear at the top of the group chat at a performer's scheduled time and click "watch." At which point, they and their group will all be able to watch along as the live events unfold.
What makes this such an interesting approach is that it does sort of replicate going to a music festival with the ability to watch a wide range of performers and have the chance to spend time with friends in between shows. The fact that Houseparty does this remotely and while people are under quarantine, makes In The House all the more interesting. However, what looks likely to make In The House particularly unique is that it includes different kinds of events. For example, there aren't many music festivals that also feature cooking workshops. At a time when fan conventions and live concerts are getting canceled because they aren't feasible under COVID-19 conditions, it is exciting to know that Houseparty is filling the void.
