Group movie talk & screen sharing arrive in HipChat

So often the best ideas happen outside of the meeting room. Inspiration doesn’t care about your schedule—it strikes when you’re refilling your coffee, taking a lunch break, or talking in a room. But as the workforce becomes more distributed, teams are losing these casual opportunities to connect.

The fresh HipChat Movie platform solves this problem, putting group movie talk and screen sharing right where your team is already collaborating – your rooms. Downright rebuilt, the fresh HipChat Movie platform rivals the most stable, reliable services on the market.

The brand fresh HipChat Movie platform is now available to all HipChat Plus customers.

Group movie talk right from your talk rooms

You can get every person on your team face-to-face in an instant by commencing a group movie talk from any HipChat room.

Update to the most latest version of our Mac, Windows, or Linux apps, and you’ll find a handy fresh camera icon right above the member list in every room. Click that ? and everyone in your room gets invited to a group movie talk.

No need to sign into another service, download a random browser extension, or lose the context of the conversation that inspired the movie talk. It’s the virtual version of spinning your chair around to skin out an idea with colleagues.

It’s quick, elementary, and available at no extra cost to HipChat Plus customers.

Get on the same page with screen sharing

It’s also effortless to share your screen in a movie talk. Anyone on the call can share a live view of documents or browser windows on their desktop.

The HipChat team depends on group screen sharing to update agile boards during daily stand-ups, spar on wireframes, and build out roadmaps.

You determine which window to share, and HipChat will broadcast it to the room.

Of course, if you’re camera-shy (or *ahem* just stepped out of the shower), it’s effortless to disable your own camera or mute yourself at any point in a call (highfive).

1-to-1 movie talk made more dynamic

There are always times you need to pull other people into a discussion, and the fresh invite feature makes that plain.

HipChat still supports 1-to-1 movie talk in your private talks but with the added capability to invite other people using an invite URL.

To invite teammates, click the person icon, copy the invite URL, and share it with anyone in your group. Just like that your 1-to-1 movie turns into a group movie talk.

Smoother, swifter & ready to scale

Of course, a excellent user practice goes beyond what’s on the surface (albeit we do hope you’ll like the fresh ringtone).

HipChat Movie is now powered by the latest WebRTC technology, which produces the movie quality and speed you expect in 2016. And we’ve dedicated servers across the globe for better reliability in every corner of the world.

We’ve also accelerated the speed at which it takes to connect to a movie talk. Thanks to improvements in HipChat movie’s NAT traversal, your calls will connect quicker and more reliably than ever – especially for enterprise-scale customers.

Get your group movie talk on

Group movie talk and screen sharing is now available to all HipChat Plus customers. Just make sure you’re running the latest desktop apps. The fresh HipChat Movie is coming to HipChat Server customers soon.
