@viccypont we saw ZmURL yesterday and signed up right away! Our zoom administrator is Cornell University (we're college students, and they pay for our Zoom accounts) and they manage permissions for external plugins. We submitted a ticket, but got rejected :(
Hopefully if we grow enough to start paying for our own Zoom usage we can start using ZmURL. We would love to have a snazzy event page.
We've found it best to keep things pretty organic, letting everyone in the rooms do what they want. Some people play jackbox.tv, others just chat about their day, we provide suggestions and structure but it's really up to every individual. Perhaps we can collab on a blog post sometime
Hey PH!
Coronas and chill began as a project my friends and I started to maintain our social sanity during quarantine.
It's quickly evolved into a fun + convenient way to meet others virtually, and we've found video chat to be a great way to connect online. We plan to continue this even after the world is no longer under quarantine, and host events specifically connecting those with similar locations, interests, and ages.
If you're interested in checking us out, our next event is tonight at 9pm ET :)
Thanks for the support!
@ali_wetrill Appreciate the support! Hope to see you at one of our events soon.
@xianmingchen Yes, we currently have a mail serve and Discord server to stay in touch! Been also connecting with one another through Instagram.
@xianmingchen @kushh Yes you can also dm them directly through zoom or just come to another event.

Amazing idea! really love it :) what are the rules for the participants? I mean, how do you control / moderate them during party?
@basar_kaya Awesome! Hope to see you at one of our events then :).
So far it's been self-modded, and we haven't had any problems. As admins, we can kick people out (if it's necessary), and they wouldn't be able to rejoin, since everybody needs to be let in from the waiting room
@steven_wu3 Thanks for the support! Hope to see you at one of our events soon!!
These are really fun events, and well executed too. It's a great way to stay connected and also meet new people from all over the world!
This is awesome guys, I'm curating a bunch of cool events people can do during COVID virtually? Can I add this product to the curated app, teambright.co?
@harley_mcturk hmm - are you accessing it through https? Make sure you're doing https:// instead of http:// as sometimes the browser will block sites that aren't secure.
Hello @kcshei ! We also found it hard to socialise using all the tools out there. We really missed mingling and the spontaneity of real life meetings. That's why we build Knit, which is specifically designed for groups of 5-50. We'd love to host your event!
@konrad_urban Wow, looks very similar to what we might need - helping the group break apart and come together again. We'll definitely take a look and test it a bit to see what our users think. Zoom isn't the perfect solution, so always looking to make the experience smoother for attendees.
@kcshei Great! It would be great to get in touch. If you need anything, let me know at konrad@knit.works.
