How is Sosh different than Zoom and other apps?
With Zoom, people are stuck in one room or awkward breakout
rooms. Sosh allows people to seamlessly hop between multiple
chatrooms. In addition, you can preview a conversation in another
room without leaving your current room. This allows you to
interact with people just like you do at an in-person gathering.
Can I make an announcement to everyone in a gathering?
Yes, you can broadcast the audio and video in your room to all the other rooms in your gathering.
How secure is Sosh?
Video chat is private, fully-encrypted, and not stored. Each
new gathering has a link that is unique, unguessable, and can be
reused any time.
Does Sosh work on any device?
Sosh works best on computers. Tablets and smartphones are
supported with limited features.
Can I create a private room in a Sosh gathering?
Yes! Locking a room makes it 100% private. Users outside of the room aren’t able to see the room name, preview the room, or join the room until it is unlocked. Anyone in a room can lock (or unlock) a room by clicking the lock symbol to the right of the room name. All rooms can be locked except for the Welcome room.
How many rooms can be created in a Sosh gathering?
A lot. We encourage you to try to max this out and tell us what
happens here.
How many guests can fit into one room before the quality degrades?
Sosh is primarily designed as a way for groups to split up into
different rooms. At this time a single room can comfortably handle
35 guests. But a gathering can handle thousands of people split
across many rooms.
