Hyperbeam is a great

Hyperbeam is a great, legitimate, site for watching movies or shows with friends. It has a great proxy that enables streaming major sites through it such as Disney
plus, Netflix etc. It works amazingly well and I have had many fun times using this amazing site.

Hyperbeam is the best!!

Hyperbeam is the best online multiplayer browser to use with your friends and family. It allows you to watch stuff together, switch control of the cursor from person to person, save tabs, chat, and start calls(video calls/regular calls). It is also available on mobile. Try it out! You’ll love it!

probably the best rabb.it alternative

probably the best rabb.it alternative. if all youre looking for is to watch movies with someone else, this is all you'll need. there's a built in voice chat so no need to have discord open at the same time for lower end pc's. the only issue ive had is there's no compatibility with netflix or hulu. id suggest finding an alternative website to watch movies. there's also a super good adblock built in, youll get practically 0 ads on this app.

Hey there!

Good news, we DO have compatability with those sites, and any site that requires you to be in a specific location! You just need to use the Hyperbeam Proxy option to correct your location!

You should get a page warning you about this any time you try to load those pages, because the proxy only works on the desktop app!

If you have any questions, email us at Support@hyperbeam.com :)

Hyperbeam is not safe

Hyperbeam is not safe. Claims that the rooms are VM's and preach about their safety whilst this is very much false.

Ran it recently and it tried to run data from other sites I didn't even access through my computer.

These sites were:

e2ertt.com
diromalxx.com
propeller-tracking.com

You can also test this yourself by using an antivirus that automatically blocks trackers. It will alert you of the occurence straight away. This particularly occurence happened on a streaming site.

VMs do not typically run data through the host PC when you run them, making this rather unsafe.

Either it was never safe or there was a breach recently [which would explain the network issues]

Very disappointing.

Edit: Scanned my PC with an antivirus afterwards too and detected Heuristic malware [overrides the function of a file on your PC to turn it into malware], this is really bad, fix your app.

Hi Ambrose,

Our VMs are actually isolated from your computer when using the site normally. However, some streaming sites are region locked or blocked from datacenter networks, which is why we have the Hyperbeam Proxy on the desktop app which you can optionally enable to make the site traffic go through your computer and have your residential IP address in order to access content available in your region. It sounds like you are using the proxy. If this is the case, you should simply turn it off, and the traffic won't go through your computer.

We also have an adblocker preinstalled and configured to block most ads and trackers, but sometimes certain trackers don't get fully blocked, and combine that with the proxy, and you get those trackers in your online traffic.

Regarding the malware issue you are seeing on the virus scan, that is a false positive and we have already fixed the issue in the latest version of the app which was released roughly a month ago, please download and install the latest version through https://hyperbeam.com/download

As always, if you have any concerns or info, feel free to contact us at support@hyperbeam.com

Very Good Watch Party Service!

HyperBeam is the best website for watch parties! I’ve tried screen sharing on Discord (lags), & other watch party websites, and to me, none of them are better than HyperBeam.

6 hour rooms, little to no lag/buffer, easy-to-use layout, chatting area for text and audio/video calling– not only does it has about everything you’d need, but it all works smoothly. Highly recommended!

Hyberbeam is great

Hyberbeam is great! Well, that is other than the fact that most of the times that i try to use it, it says there is a server problem or something. I try to ask for help but I usually don't get it. I would love if that was fixed. But altogether my freinds and I love it. It is so entertaining!!

Hello,

I think you are a bit mistaken. Hyperbeam is a watch party service, not a VPS web host. While we do not do anything to block access to games and game websites, it's not possible to install programs, and some browser based game inputs may not be supported by the technology at this time.

Due to the watch party nature, rooms are meant to have multiple people in them as well. We had a large number of solo rooms that consistent mostly of people trying to unblock content on things like school computers, so we had to limit those to make rooms for all the watch parties people wanted to start. We still enable people to host rooms alone just to be able to check if things actually work, because that is really useful!

Really chilled and relaxing platform

I use Hyperbeam quite frequently where I host many events or movie nights with friends / community members, and the platform has never let me down.

The staff are always helpful, polite and respond as soon as they can.

Would recommend to others 100%!

Thank you

I just want to say how much I appreciate the help of Admin Horror for coming in my room moments after I submitted a help support ticket about proxy issues I was having. He was very informative and thorough with looking into each area that the problem affects. Overall I just want to give a 5 star rating to this admin and the way Hyperbeam is putting forth effort to stay on top of their customers needs. Thank you.

Better than Rabb.it ever was

It's a reliable service that has given me and my friends countless hours of entertainment, movie and game nights have been made much easier with hyperbeam as a platform. Similarly, it's nice to have your moderators be able to open your room when you're running late for the movie night as well.

#1 Platform

Hyperbeam is honestly the best platform I came across after looking at so many others. It was Tutturu when I discovered it. Its simple to use, it has a familiar and comfortable feel to it because of the layout and color, and it offers a lot to its community.

Fills a niche i needed filled.

I've been following the development of Hyperbeam since sometime close to its initial release. I've been in long distance relationships for the majority of the past 8 years, and a way i'd often spend time with my loved ones was through shared desktops. When my previous preferred service was shut down a few years back, nothing else quite matched the experience. Hyperbeam's team has been consistently receptive to feedback and quick to respond when me or my friends and partners have had technical issues. It's difficult to ask more from a company than an attentive team passionate about what they do. I use the website weekly, if not sometimes daily, as it allows me to stay close with my friends halfway across the world.

Hyperbeam the love of my life

I have friends in the UK and I'm in america so it's really hard to watch tvs/ movies with them considering we all have really bad pcs, Hyperbeam solved our problems with long distance friendships with the ability to access one tab with everybody able to control it. I had a hard time finding a website that suited my needs and Hyperbeam fit it perfectly! I can now watch animes/movies with my homies thanks to this trusty website!

Great platform to connect with friends/family

Overall a great way to connect long-distance with friends/family to watch movies/shows together. The addition of a proxy also allows access to region-restricted streaming sites (Disney+, Netflix, Hulu, etc.) to enhance watching experience.
