You can open a room and hang out from your phone, but to stream a film to the room you need a computer: a laptop or desktop with Chrome, plugged in, on good Wi-Fi or wired internet. Phones aren't strong enough to send a movie to a whole theater and they sleep mid-film. Guests can watch from any phone.
No. Top Row Films runs in the browser on iPhone, Android, Mac and PC. They tap your link, type a name, pick their look and they're in.
Yes. That's the point. Your phone camera goes on your seat so the room feels full. You can turn your camera or mic off any time with one tap.
Mics start on, so the room laughs, gasps and talks back like a real crowd. Anyone can mute themselves with the Mic button.
Your own work, or films you have the rights to screen. You're responsible for the content you stream. Pirated studio releases get rooms shut down.
Free screenings seat 15 people, you included. Ticketed screenings seat 20. Need more? Premiere members can open a custom room for 21 to 100 people with tickets, and the per-ticket fee covers the extra streaming. Rooms over 100 seats are not available yet. Join the Premiere list and we will tell you when they are.
Yes. The admin can record the whole night, including picture, film audio and every mic, straight to their device. Nothing is uploaded to us.
Open a theater, drop the link, roll the film. That's the whole job.
